The gallery is run using [https://piwigo.org/ Piwigo], an open-source, web-based gallery software. In order to upload or update the contents of the gallery, you will need to login by pressing the login button on the bottom right of the gallery. If you don't have an account with the gallery, please contact the [mailto:tech@standrewsradio.com tech team]. == Uploading images == There are multiple different ways to upload to the gallery. If you're just uploading a few photos, and are happy to put them into albums manually, the web uploader is the easiest way. Otherwise, if you're looking to upload to the gallery in bulk, you can also connect via FTP or by one of the many external applications that provide upload capabilities. === Uploading via web === Uploading images via the web is the quickest and easiest way to upload. Once you have logged in, press '''Add''' underneath the '''Photos''' menu. Once you have selected or created a new album, you can select the photos you would like to upload using the '''Start upload''' button. === Uploading via FTP === If you have an incredibly large number of images that need to be uploaded, the best way to do this is to see if there are any other applications that provide Piwigo upload capabilities. However, if none of the applications help you, you can upload your images using FTP. Please contact a member of the [mailto:tech@standrewsradio.com tech team] for more information and assistance. === Other ways to upload === Piwigo provides a list of many other methods that can be used to upload images to the gallery. There are a range of different software available, including apps for your Android/iOS device, programmes for Windows/Mac and plugins for photo editing software like Shotwell and Lightroom. Once you're on the '''Add''' page, click the '''Applications''' and browse through the list of available programmes that might be able to assist you. == Further administration == On the admin dashboard, there are plenty of other tools you can use to edit the gallery. The best way to figure stuff out is to have a poke about and see what can be done. There is also plenty of support and guides available online. However, the documentation available on the Piwigo website is pretty lacking, so if you're looking for guides and tours of the many useful features, press the '''Help me''' button on the top right of the admin dashboard.

These guides may be updated at any time and new guides might appear too. a3b9cc26d678f932faedd8108402f2e8da2cdf51 0 5 8 2019-09-26T17:28:11Z Kieran 1 Created page wikitext text/x-wiki Sadly, this page doesn't contain any information on how to manipulate time itself. Instead, you'll have to make do with a simple guide on how to edit the timeline featured on the Starchive. This timeline is powered by [https://timeline.knightlab.com/ Knightlab's Timeline] software. Although it might look scary, if you know how to edit a spreadsheet then editing the timeline won't be hard at all. == Accessing the timeline == The content of the timeline exists in a Google Sheets document that is available at [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gMg_qNhxIp42OQ-u31wVqJl_89Io0rIPBPb0dKfF9cs/edit#gid=0 this link]. Anyone can edit this spreadsheet and changes made will automatically appear on the Starchive website, so please be careful about what you enter! If you are making big changes to the timeline, you may find it helpful to duplicate the spreadsheet by clicking '''File &rarr; Make a Copy'''. This will create a copy of the current timeline in a spreadsheet that you can safely edit. Once you are done editing, simply copy the contents of your spreadsheet back into the master spreadsheet. This will help ensure that no unfinished changes make their way onto the Starchive website. == Editing the timeline == For a brief overview of how to edit the timeline, you can watch [https://vimeo.com/knightlab/timelinejs#t=36s this video] from the Knightlab team. This link starts the video from 36 seconds, skipping the parts that you don't need to worry about. This video also ends up talking about how to publish the timeline - you don't need to worry about that either. All you need to do is edit the spreadsheet and everything else will be done for you. == Frequently asked questions == Below is a section of questions that might crop up whilst you are editing the timeline. This guide was written before the Starchive was launched, so don't get too upset if your question isn't mentioned below. If you do have any queries or problems, simply [mailto:tech@standrews.ac.uk email the Tech Team]. === Someone deleted my work? === Luckily for you the timeline is written in Google Sheets. Alongside the Google Sheets software is an extensive version history that you can access by pressing '''File &rarr; Version History'''. This will allow you to revert any unwanted changes and find out who has been messing with your hard work. === I can't access the spreadsheet? === Make sure that you are logged into your ''standrewsradio.com'' email address. If you aren't, you won't be able to access the spreadsheet. If you don't have such an email address but still want to help out, [mailto:tech@standrewsradio.com contact the Tech Team]. === My edits aren't showing up on the Starchive? === Due to the way spreadsheet publishing works, changes made to the spreadsheet are only transferred to the timeline every five minutes.

[[starTV|starTV]] was created to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from Tay-Tay. The website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. ==Starchive== Starchive was created by Kieran Wallbanks in 2019. Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- ! Position !

The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. Whilst most of the events were very well-received by the student population, from the organisers' perspective, the event appeared to be cursed: bands would often drop out days before the event due to ill health, and more than one band had a falling out with Union security. {| class="wikitable" |- !

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from Tay-Tay. The website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. ==Starchive== Starchive was created by Kieran Wallbanks in 2019. Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server.

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from Tay-Tay.

It is unknown where the name "Joe" comes from. ==Early Life== The first confirmed sighting of Gorilla Joe is the t-shirt competition, on 1st March 2012. The competition came down to three final designs, with Facebook likes on each design counting as votes. Gorilla Joe won with 418 votes, with Teodora Filipescu's design coming second with 349 votes. Third place received 60 votes. Gorilla Joe was also spotted on the wall of the 2008-10(?) studio in October 2012, after Toby Marsh painted him there. A time-lapse of the painting's creation was published by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6zOqRKyI8M Lightbox]. Gorilla Joe was later spotted 89 times during STAR's "[https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10154548485165315 Spot Gorilla Joe]" competition of Freshers' Week 2014. The competition also ran a year earlier in 2013, but appeared to have received less attention, despite having 10 [[Festivals#Starfields|Starfields]] tickets up for grabs. ==Logos== The original logo is still in use on the website, merchandise, and numerous promotional materials, with only minor changes, namely the font of the word "STAR" on the headphones. The main picture of STAR's Facebook page usually shows a different iteration of Gorilla Joe each year. The 2019/20 version was designed by Aaron Jessop, with a different colour scheme used for the profile picture of STAR's Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. ==Facebook Account== Gorilla Joe has had a Facebook account since October 2014. The account's display name is "G'rilla Joe", since "Gorilla" is not an acceptable name, according to Facebook. The account originally shared only a few posts about committee applications. The account was inactive from April 2015 to May 2019, and now tends to share content from the STAR page, Hearing Aid page, and starTV YouTube channel, usually a few weeks after they were originally published. The account frequently leaves comments thanking people for supporting STAR. It is tradition for the new [[Broadcasting Officer|Station Manager]] to marry G'rilla Joe on Facebook, similar to the SSC Charities Convener marring the Rory McLion account on Facebook. G'rilla Joe has a long-standing feud with Rory McLion, sparked by Rory's refusal of marriage, and fuelled by Rory's immense popularity within the student population, often being invited to events such as the (?) Mascot Beach Run, whilst Gorilla Joe is left in the dark confines of the studio. ==Spotify Account== STAR's official [https://open.spotify.com/user/standrewsradio Spotify account] is under the name G'rilla Joe, and is linked to his Facebook account. 835ea4779d6edcfba33d82de6aaf233d90eb18bd 153 152 2019-12-25T16:23:48Z Tom 2 /* Early Life */ wikitext text/x-wiki Gorilla Joe is the mascot and current logo of STAR.

The competition came down to three final designs, with Facebook likes on each design counting as votes. Gorilla Joe won with 418 votes, with Teodora Filipescu's design coming second with 349 votes. Third place received 60 votes. Gorilla Joe was also spotted on the wall of the 2008-10(?) studio in October 2012, after Toby Marsh painted him there. A time-lapse of the painting's creation was published by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6zOqRKyI8M Lightbox].

The competition also ran a year earlier in 2013, but appears to have received less attention, despite having 10 [[Festivals#Starfields|Starfields]] tickets up for grabs. ==Logos== The original logo is still in use on the website, merchandise, and numerous promotional materials, with only minor changes, namely the font of the word "STAR" on the headphones. The main picture of STAR's Facebook page usually shows a different iteration of Gorilla Joe each year. The 2019/20 version was designed by Aaron Jessop, with a different colour scheme used for the profile picture of STAR's Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. ==Facebook Account== Gorilla Joe has had a Facebook account since October 2014. The account's display name is "G'rilla Joe", since "Gorilla" is not an acceptable name, according to Facebook. The account originally shared only a few posts about committee applications. The account was inactive from April 2015 to May 2019, and now tends to share content from the STAR page, Hearing Aid page, and starTV YouTube channel, usually a few weeks after they were originally published. The account frequently leaves comments thanking people for supporting STAR. It is tradition for the new [[Broadcasting Officer|Station Manager]] to marry G'rilla Joe on Facebook, similar to the SSC Charities Convener marring the Rory McLion account on Facebook. G'rilla Joe has a long-standing feud with Rory McLion, sparked by Rory's refusal of marriage, and fuelled by Rory's immense popularity within the student population, often being invited to events such as the (?)

The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. Whilst most of the events were very well-received by the student population, from the organisers' perspective, the event appeared to be cursed: bands would often drop out days before the event due to ill health, and more than one band had a falling out with Union security. {| class="wikitable" |- !

The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. Whilst most of the events were very well-received by the student population, from the organisers' perspective, the event appeared to be cursed: bands would often drop out days before the event due to ill health, and more than one band had a falling out with Union security. {| class="wikitable" |- !

In most years, they are also expected to keep the studio clean and tidy, and to help with tech at STAR gigs and external broadcasts. They are also responsible for managing the station's PPL license, and creating Myriad logins for shows. The position used to be called the Director of Audio Engineering, with a focus on the studio equipment, and the rest of the committee helping to keep the studio tidy. Nowadays, it is more common for the Head Technician to be responsible for the studio computers, network, and web stream, as well as much of the website maintenance and content. They therefore work closely with the Head of Web. For more information on studio equipment, see [[Studio Equipment]]. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Year ! Name !

The station owes a lot to Sir Clement Freud (Rector of the University of St Andrews 2002-2005), who was instrumental in getting STAR off the ground, via the Rector's Charitable Fund. STAR began with a trial period between 28th February and 13th March 2005, broadcasting on 87.7 FM and [http://standrewsradio.com standrewsradio.com] for six hours each day (8-10am, 7-9pm, and 11pm-1am).

[https://news.st-andrews.ac.uk/archive/going-live-students-to-launch-radio-station [Source]] The FM broadcast required a Restricted Service License (RSL) from Ofcom. The initial two-week trial period required funding of around £3,000. This was funded by the Rector's Charitable Fund, the University, and the Students' Association. Funding also came from local businesses, which were able to sponsor individual shows. The trial took place in the cloakroom of the Students' Association (Union) building, which was originally designed to house such a facility. Sandy and Steve graduated that summer, and David Wilkinson was appointed Station Manager. David and eleven other committee members then started planning for the 2005/06 academic year.

The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. Whilst most of the events were very well-received by the student population, from the organisers' perspective, the event appeared to be cursed: bands would often drop out days before the event due to ill health, and more than one band had a falling out with Union security. {| class="wikitable" |- !

This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free.

The station owes a lot to Sir Clement Freud (Rector of the University of St Andrews 2002-2005), who was instrumental in getting STAR off the ground, via the Rector's Charitable Fund. STAR began with a trial period between 28th February and 13th March 2005, broadcasting on 87.7 FM and [http://standrewsradio.com standrewsradio.com] for six hours each day (8-10am, 7-9pm, and 11pm-1am). [https://news.st-andrews.ac.uk/archive/going-live-students-to-launch-radio-station [Source: Going Live! Students to launch radio station – University of St Andrews]] The FM broadcast required a Restricted Service License (RSL) from Ofcom. The initial two-week trial period required funding of around £3,000. This was funded by the Rector's Charitable Fund, the University, and the Students' Association. Funding also came from local businesses, which were able to sponsor individual shows. The trial took place in the cloakroom of the Students' Association (Union) building, which was originally designed to house such a facility. Sandy and Steve graduated that summer, and David Wilkinson was appointed Station Manager. David and eleven other committee members then started planning for the 2005/06 academic year. They became an affiliated society of the Students' Association. It is not known when STAR became a fully-fledged subcommittee.

The station owes a lot to Sir Clement Freud (Rector of the University of St Andrews 2002-2005), who was instrumental in getting STAR off the ground, via the Rector's Charitable Fund. STAR began with a trial period between 28th February and 13th March 2005, broadcasting on 87.7 FM and [http://standrewsradio.com standrewsradio.com] for six hours each day (8-10am, 7-9pm, and 11pm-1am). [https://news.st-andrews.ac.uk/archive/going-live-students-to-launch-radio-station [Source: Going Live! Students to launch radio station – University of St Andrews]] The FM broadcast required a Restricted Service License (RSL) from Ofcom. The initial two-week trial period required funding of around £3,000. This was funded by the Rector's Charitable Fund, the University, and the Students' Association. Funding also came from local businesses, which were able to sponsor individual shows. The trial took place in the cloakroom of the Students' Association (Union) building, which was originally designed to house such a facility. Sandy and Steve graduated that summer, and David Wilkinson was appointed Station Manager. David and eleven other committee members then started planning for the 2005/06 academic year. Star FM became an affiliated society of the Students' Association. It is not known when STAR became a fully-fledged subcommittee. [[File:March 2005 Sandy Walker, Michael Blair, David Wilkinson.jpg|frame|(Left to right) Sandy Walker, Michael Blair, (unknown), and David Wilkinson during the first trial of Star FM, March 2005]] During the trial period, the website received 15,000 hits per day. This success led to a second two-week period of broadcasting, from 21st November (Raisin Monday) to 4th December 2005, again on 87.7 FM (RSL) and the website, this time with a 24/7 schedule, of which live shows filled 11 hours per day.

The festival used various venues across town, including the basement of Younger Hall (where Withered Hand closed the festival), and tickets were £45 for a weekend pass, or £35 for students.

Evidence included bands being removed from the union for drug use, fake IDs, and buying alcohol when underage, sometimes before they had even begun their set. Furthermore, multiple bands dropped out in the days before they were due to perform. For example, The Acid Club had to drop out after their singer was involved in a car crash. Another band dropped out due to a family member needing surgery. Middle Class Guilt's drummer broke his collarbone the night before their gig. A few hours before the start of the 28th September 2019 event, it was realised that the drum kit had been double booked. = Scratchylus = Since being interviewed live on STAR, [https://www.facebook.com/Brand-New-Vinyl-Sweet-Child-Scratchylus-Empress-Reggae-Kiddus-I-102906534485877 Brand New Vinyl Sweet Child Scratchylus Empress Reggae Kiddus I], also known as Scratchylus, has shared STAR's [https://www.facebook.com/standrewsradio/videos/2174735602749699 video] nearly 100 times, in a highly sporadic fashion. = Urinegate = On 9th December 2019, Ollie (Assistant Head of Music [[2019/20|2019/20]]), in need of a new water bottle, decided to take an opaque bottle that had been left in the studio for a number of weeks, supposedly untouched.

[[starTV|starTV]] was created to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay, and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. ==Starchive== Starchive was created by Kieran Wallbanks in 2019. Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server.

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay, and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. ==Starchive== Starchive was created by Kieran Wallbanks in 2019. Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- ! Position !

The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. Whilst most of the events were very well-received by the student population, from the organisers' perspective, the event appeared to be cursed: bands would often drop out days before the event due to ill health, and more than one band had a falling out with Union security. {| class="wikitable" |- !

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay, and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. ==Starchive== Starchive was created by Kieran Wallbanks in 2019. Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- ! Position !

Three of the six assistant positions were taken up by first years, who otherwise wouldn't have been able to apply until March/April 2020. Being first years, they had noticeably more time to dedicate to STAR. * Having assistants for people who want them, instead of sticking to the constitution. * Using [http://bit.ly bit.ly] for things like /TrainingSignup, /ShowSchedule, /ShowApplications, etc. This saved an enormous amount of time for everyone, not just the committee. * Telling shows to include an image from [http://bit.ly/starlogos bit.ly/starlogos] in the corner of their page cover photo. * Having individual meetings and a questionnaire for committee members around week 9 of semester 1, instead of the usual committee meeting. * Removing the three slots reserved on Thursday evenings for live broadcasts; focusing on publishing recordings of live events on Mixcloud was much more effective. * Making slots available whenever the Union is open, i.e. 9am-2am. * Allowing new show applications throughout the semester, though this could have been streamlined by faster demos and a clear cutoff a few weeks before exams. * Sticking to one show Facebook group for the whole year. * Using the interactive schedule within our Wordpress theme, instead of using a screenshot of a spreadsheet. Please please please continue this. * Using Mixcloud to host podcasts, though you can no longer jump backwards on a mix without a paid account. Mixcloud could have been embedded into our website in a better way (see [https://ury.org.uk ury.org.uk]). === Changes that didn't work === * The mixer when it broke a week before the start of semester 1. * Regular rotation. Not sure anyone really understood it. Might be worth implementing over a few daytime slots in the future for the sake of trying to get played in local businesses, but try not to make a big deal out of it. * A show host suggested that the show application form might be better without distinguishing between a main host and co-hosts. * Booking two hours for committee meetings: people didn't even want to stay one hour. * Struggled to form an Outside Broadcast (OB) team or cover many events, in part due to a lack of awareness amongst the general student population, leading to a lack of interest. * We may have ordered way too many phone wallets. * Selling USB sticks for £2 instead of giving them away likely would have worked a lot better if they were ready for sale before the main tech training weekend. 9d3e86d90a72a8d6480b0e73411d0d8549dd61ec 6 76 312 2019-12-26T19:19:38Z Tom 2 Show schedule from Candlemas semester of 2017/18. wikitext text/x-wiki == Summary == Show schedule from Candlemas semester of 2017/18. dbb074f701ed80e817382b66a0213ee74d9311e7 0 17 313 247 2019-12-26T19:20:10Z Tom 2 wikitext text/x-wiki From April 2017 to March 2018, STAR did...

By ticking the box below, you agree to attend every show in a given semester, within reason. If you cannot make your show, let us know by emailing programming@standrewsradio.com, giving a reason for your absence, so that we can continue to best support you. If possible, please email well in advance, so we can arrange cover for the slot. If you don’t let the programming team know about an absence, we operate a three strike system. After two strikes, you’ll be asked to meet in person with the Head of Programming. After three strikes, your show will be cancelled. This does not apply to revision/exam weeks. Any sound in the studio may be recorded, and STAR may put these recordings on standrewsradio.com and mixcloud.com. This is so we can provide a backlog of podcasts to listeners. If STAR plans to use a recording of your voice for anything other than this, such as publicity or station jingles, we will ask you beforehand. You will need to reapply at the start of each semester. </blockquote> 17a53ed30b1a2415107cb143d5a3cee46531aa12 0 25 324 277 2019-12-26T20:49:23Z Tom 2 /* Interviews */ wikitext text/x-wiki STAR has had many interactions with musicians since its creation, from brief interviews when passing by a festival, to gigs hosted in St Andrews. =Gigs= ===Sounds of Sandy's=== The Sounds of Sandy's series began in September 2019. The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. Whilst most of the events were very well-received by the student population, from the organisers' perspective, the event appeared to be cursed: bands would often drop out days before the event due to ill health, and more than one band had a falling out with Union security. {| class="wikitable" |- !

Immediately after the set of eight new faders were installed, the mixer went completely dead. Upon inspection, part of the power supply appeared to have overheated.

Unfortunately, despite coverage from [http://www.thesaint-online.com/2016/04/under-canvas-set-to-be-a-feast-for-music-lovers The Saint], the event failed to sell enough of the £35 tickets, and [https://www.facebook.com/STAundercanvas/videos/646590292158269 had to be cancelled]. ==FFALL== [https://www.instagram.com/p/unXeTiNMgO Sunshine Social at FFALL, October 2014]. ==Summer Vibes== Summer Vibes was a one-day festival hosted by STAR and Music is Love (MiL) on [https://www.facebook.com/events/490386837791438 Sunday 13th September 2015], held in the botanic garden. Around 2,000 people were invited, with around 1,000 responding as "going". Photos of the event are on [https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10155950595500315 STAR's Facebook page]. == Eye O' the Dug == Eye O' the Dug was a two-day festival organised by Fence Records on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th April 2012. Acts included Django Django, Errors, Dutch Uncles, KT Tunstall, Conquering Animal Sound, Kid Canaveral, Withered Hand, and King Creosote & John Hopkins. The festival used various venues across town, including the basement of Younger Hall (where Withered Hand closed the festival), and tickets were £45 for a weekend pass, or £35 for students. STAR's exact involvement with the festival is unknown, though it was heavily involved in promotion of the event. E.g.

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay], and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. ==Starchive== Starchive was created by Kieran Wallbanks in 2019. Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- ! Position !

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created in an attempt to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay]], and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. ==Starchive== Starchive was created by Kieran Wallbanks in 2019. Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- ! Position !

Being first years, they had noticeably more time to dedicate to STAR. * Having assistants for people who want them, instead of sticking to the constitution. * Using [http://bit.ly bit.ly] for things like /TrainingSignup, /ShowSchedule, /ShowApplications, etc. This saved an enormous amount of time for everyone, not just the committee. * Telling shows to include an image from [http://bit.ly/starlogos bit.ly/starlogos] in the corner of their page cover photo. * Having individual meetings and a questionnaire for committee members around week 9 of semester 1, instead of the usual committee meeting. * Removing the three slots reserved on Thursday evenings for live broadcasts; focusing on publishing recordings of live events on Mixcloud was much more effective. * Making slots available whenever the Union is open, i.e. 9am-2am. * Allowing new show applications throughout the semester, though this could have been streamlined by faster demos and a clear cutoff a few weeks before exams. * Sticking to one show Facebook group for the whole year. * Using the interactive schedule within our Wordpress theme, instead of using a screenshot of a spreadsheet. Please please please continue this. * Using Mixcloud to host podcasts, though you can no longer jump backwards on a mix without a paid account. Mixcloud could have been embedded into our website in a better way (see [https://ury.org.uk ury.org.uk]). * Having a [http://bit.ly/starfesto list of aims] for the year. === Changes that didn't work === * The mixer when it broke a week before the start of semester 1. * Regular rotation. Not sure anyone really understood it. Might be worth implementing over a few daytime slots in the future for the sake of trying to get played in local businesses, but try not to make a big deal out of it. * A show host suggested that the show application form might be better without distinguishing between a main host and co-hosts. * Booking two hours for committee meetings: people didn't even want to stay one hour. * Struggled to form an Outside Broadcast (OB) team or cover many events, in part due to a lack of awareness amongst the general student population, leading to a lack of interest. * We may have ordered way too many phone wallets. * Selling USB sticks for £2 instead of giving them away likely would have worked a lot better if they were ready for sale before the main tech training weekend. 68c12f2ee856c3c4b7cf139346fd2d98f3279cc4 0 11 359 304 2019-12-27T22:28:54Z Tom 2 wikitext text/x-wiki The Deputy Station Manager, also known as the Deputy Broadcasting Officer, is second in charge of STAR.

The gallery is run using [https://piwigo.org/ Piwigo], an open-source, web-based gallery software. In order to upload or update the contents of the gallery, you will need to login by pressing the login button on the bottom right of the gallery. If you don't have an account with the gallery, please contact the [mailto:tech@standrewsradio.com tech team]. == Uploading images == There are multiple different ways to upload to the gallery. If you're just uploading a few photos, and are happy to put them into albums manually, the web uploader is the easiest way. Otherwise, if you're looking to upload to the gallery in bulk, you can also connect via FTP or by one of the many external applications that provide upload capabilities. === Uploading via web === Uploading images via the web is the quickest and easiest way to upload. Once you have logged in, press '''Add''' underneath the '''Photos''' menu. Once you have selected or created a new album, you can select the photos you would like to upload using the '''Start upload''' button. === Uploading via FTP === If you have an incredibly large number of images that need to be uploaded, the best way to do this is to see if there are any other applications that provide Piwigo upload capabilities. However, if none of the applications help you, you can upload your images using FTP. Please contact a member of the [mailto:tech@standrewsradio.com tech team] for more information and assistance. === Other ways to upload === Piwigo provides a list of many other methods that can be used to upload images to the gallery. There are a range of different software available, including apps for your Android/iOS device, programs for Windows/Mac and plugins for photo editing software like Shotwell and Lightroom. Once you're on the '''Add''' page, click the '''Applications''' and browse through the list of available programmes that might be able to assist you. == Further administration == On the admin dashboard, there are plenty of other tools you can use to edit the gallery. The best way to figure stuff out is to have a poke about and see what can be done. There is also plenty of support and guides available online. However, the documentation available on the Piwigo website is pretty lacking, so if you're looking for guides and tours of the many useful features, press the '''Help me''' button on the top right of the admin dashboard.

The station owes a lot to Sir Clement Freud (Rector of the University of St Andrews 2002-2005), who was instrumental in getting STAR off the ground, via the Rector's Charitable Fund. STAR began with a trial period between 28th February and 13th March 2005, broadcasting on 87.7 FM and [http://standrewsradio.com standrewsradio.com] for six hours each day (8-10am, 7-9pm, and 11pm-1am). [https://news.st-andrews.ac.uk/archive/going-live-students-to-launch-radio-station [Source: Going Live! Students to launch radio station – University of St Andrews]] The FM broadcast required a Restricted Service License (RSL) from Ofcom. The initial two-week trial period required funding of around £3,000. This was funded by the Rector's Charitable Fund, the University, and the Students' Association. Funding also came from local businesses, which were able to sponsor individual shows. The trial took place in the cloakroom of the Students' Association (Union) building, which was originally designed to house such a facility. Sandy and Steve graduated that summer, and David Wilkinson was appointed Station Manager. David and eleven other committee members then started planning for the 2005/06 academic year. Star FM became an affiliated society of the Students' Association. It is not known when STAR became a fully-fledged subcommittee. [[File:March 2005 Sandy Walker, Michael Blair, David Wilkinson.jpg|frame|(Left to right) Sandy Walker, Michael Blair, (unknown), and David Wilkinson in the Union cloakroom during the first trial of Star FM, March 2005.]] During the trial period, the website received 15,000 hits per day. This success led to a second two-week period of broadcasting, from 21st November (Raisin Monday) to 4th December 2005, again on 87.7 FM (RSL) and the website, this time with a 24/7 schedule, of which live shows filled 11 hours per day.

This got worse with time, but was helped by opening the mixer and scraping fluff out of each fader. Eventually this cleaning process stopped improving the jitter. A new fader was ordered for £28.78 from Broadcast Radio in April 2019 to confirm that the faders were the problem. A further eight faders were then installed in August 2019 at a cost of £191.90. One of the eight new faders was bent in transit; a replacement was sent free of charge, and installed in September 2019. Immediately after the set of eight new faders were installed, the mixer went completely dead. Upon inspection, part of the power supply appeared to have overheated. The PSU's earth wire was also found to be loose, though this was likely caused by the inspection. A new SRM PSU was ordered from Broadcast Radio for £167.94, and installed in September 2019. The mixer then worked perfectly. = Microphones = {| class="wikitable" |- ! Model ! Use ! In use since !

This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free.

The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. Whilst most of the events were very well-received by the student population, from the organisers' perspective, the event appeared to be cursed: bands would often drop out days before the event due to ill health, and more than one band had a falling out with Union security. {| class="wikitable" |- !

By ticking the box below, you agree to attend every show in a given semester, within reason. If you cannot make your show, let us know by emailing programming@standrewsradio.com, giving a reason for your absence, so that we can continue to best support you. If possible, please email well in advance, so we can arrange cover for the slot. If you don’t let the programming team know about an absence, we operate a three strike system. After two strikes, you’ll be asked to meet in person with the Head of Programming. After three strikes, your show will be cancelled. This does not apply to revision/exam weeks. Any sound in the studio may be recorded, and STAR may put these recordings on standrewsradio.com and mixcloud.com. This is so we can provide a backlog of podcasts to listeners. If STAR plans to use a recording of your voice for anything other than this, such as publicity or station jingles, we will ask you beforehand. You will need to reapply at the start of each semester. </blockquote> 3c8a18856df0f2524663b4b2bad9142e728de703 0 94 409 2020-01-12T19:25:24Z Tom 2 List of scans of STAR in old articles, mostly The Saint wikitext text/x-wiki = The Saint = Issues that have been checked so far: the main library's archive (near front entrance) 2003-05 box, and the first few in 2006-09 box. == Issue 23, March 1999 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Mar 1999 is.23 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Mar 1999 is.23 but says Feb The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|An early STAR show, 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 89, February 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Feb 2005 is.89 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 91, March 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Mar 2005 is.91 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 97, November 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Nov 2005 is.97 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 98, December 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Dec 2005 is.98 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 99, December 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Dec 2005 is.99 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> 69dda8bb7eb6a4a65b81e535698676824069276b 410 409 2020-01-12T19:30:50Z Tom 2 /* The Saint */ wikitext text/x-wiki = The Saint = Issues that have been checked so far: the main library's archive (near front entrance) 2003-05 box, and the first few in 2006-09 box. == Issue 23, March 1999 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Mar 1999 is.23 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Mar 1999 is.23 but says Feb The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|An early STAR show, 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 89, February 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Feb 2005 is.89 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 91, March 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Mar 2005 is.91 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 97, November 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Nov 2005 is.97 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 98, December 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Dec 2005 is.98 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 99, December 2005 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Dec 2005 is.99 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> == Issue 137, November 2009 == <div><ul> <li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Nov 2009 is.137 The Saint.jpg|thumb|none|220px|STAR studio, December 2005]] </li> </ul></div> b7381f318a3bdbfbc54de30a6467d651d8866022 412 410 2020-01-12T19:38:02Z Tom 2 /* The Saint */ link to starchive gallery wikitext text/x-wiki = The Saint = Issues that have been checked so far: the main library's archive (near front entrance) 2003-05 box, and the first few in 2006-09 box.

[https://news.st-andrews.ac.uk/archive/going-live-students-to-launch-radio-station [Source: Going Live! Students to launch radio station – University of St Andrews]] The FM broadcast required a large antenna to be placed on the Union's roof, and a Restricted Service License (RSL) from Ofcom. The initial two-week trial period required funding of around £3,000. This was funded by the Rector's Charitable Fund, the University, and the Students' Association. Funding also came from local businesses, which were able to sponsor individual shows.

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. === Main Responsibilities === * Working with the Head of Finance to create a budget, to be submitted and approved by the DoSDA/DoES over summer. * Chairing the weekly committee meeting. * Providing all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules. # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email. # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this! # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs. # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year. # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun. # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What needs to be done before September? # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September. # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web (or Head Technician) can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone. # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you. # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year. # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look. # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general. # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms. # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design.

Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them.

For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university.

If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming.

This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but just keep on top of these or they build up quickly. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks.

This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but just keep on top of these or they build up quickly. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If a student gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as follows: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Account !

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed.

Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === What is the Union? === The Union is the building its staff (bar staff, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. It is a The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a '''subcommittee''' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. '''Societies''' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What needs to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web (or Head Technician) can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === Explanation of "Councils" === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you.

Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them.

I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What needs to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web (or Head Technician) can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === Explanation of "Councils" === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === What is the Union? === The Union is the building its staff (bar staff, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. It is a The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a '''subcommittee''' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. '''Societies''' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed.

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What needs to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web (or Head Technician) can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === Explanation of "Councils" === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === What is the Union? === The Union is the building its staff (bar staff, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. It is a The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. It is a The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What needs to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web (or Head Technician) can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === Explanation of "Councils" === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you.

Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web (or Head Technician) can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === Explanation of "Councils" === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed.

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web (or Head Technician) can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

Their exact responsibilities change significantly each year, and can include acting as a social rep for the committee, liaising between STAR and Hearing Aid, or taking on some of the [[Broadcasting Officer|Station Manager's]] tasks.

You will be a second voice in all decisions, and a second pair of hands for all tasks. This could mean helping to chair meetings, organising events, or researching new ideas. This is a great role if you want to see, and influence, how every part of STAR works. The Deputy Station Manager has usually been on committee for a year, and should therefore have a good understanding of how STAR is run, and which areas need the most help. This role assists everyone on committee, but also initiates new ideas. === Tasks === Tasks are likely to change each year, but will be roughly as follows: * Assist the Station Manager wherever possible, and represent STAR whenever the Station Manager is unable to. * Act as a main point of contact between Hearing Aid and STAR. * Ensure that all members of the committee are given a fair and reasonable workload, that does not hinder their university studies. * Actively attempt to secure nominations for various student radio awards. * Host the “Office Hour” show at 5pm on Mondays. * Help as much as possible with Freshers’ Fayre, Refreshers’ Fayre, show demos, and first show sit-ins. === Links === * [https://drive.google.com drive.google.com] === Contacts === * Previous Deputy Station Managers, e.g. [mailto:blandine.hoge@standrewsradio.com Blandine Hoge]. eb08c8d05b2d7c494da0ddb411ab0d5f751f8ab1 0 22 439 60 2020-01-16T17:45:26Z Tom 2 Handover wikitext text/x-wiki The Secretary, also known as the Director of Internal Communications, is responsible for taking minutes at committee meetings, and sending the weekly email to subscribers. == Past Secretaries == {| class="wikitable" |- !

This role is integral for the smooth running of STAR, as you have to plan the committee’s spending for the year. You also need to find sponsorship for both STAR and Hearing Aid. You should be added as a signatory on STAR's bank account, along with the Station Manager and someone from the Cash Office. === Tasks === * Make sure you know where the cash office is, as you’ll be going there a lot. * Plan the budget for the coming year. This should be done in liaison with every other committee member, to check their aims for the year, and how much money they will need. Your finished plan should be sent to the Union before the given deadline, usually around the end of May. * Keep track of spending; each expenditure should be recorded in a Google Sheet, which can be shared with the whole committee. * Create a Google Form for committee members to send you their receipts, with a description of what they bought. * Liaise with the Cash Office and Station Manager to approve expenditure, and sign reimbursement cheques. * We are one of the few subcommittees with a bank account. Check the balance occasionally to confirm you’re on top of everything. * Hearing Aid prints three magazines each year. They usually have an annual budget of £1500.

You will have to create application forms, arrange and run demos, build the schedule, organise first show sit-ins, organise show skimming/feedback, and track show attendance, all whilst being available to help out show hosts when they need you. It’s a difficult and time-consuming role, especially around the start of each semester, but it can be incredibly rewarding. === Tasks === ==== September ==== * Show application form ** Include the following: **# Name of show **# Emails of all hosts **# Show description for the website **# Whether they are a new or returning show **# At least five time slots they are available **# The attendance policy and station rules ** Check previous forms as examples ** Double-check that "required answer" is active for every question ** Double-check that the form can be shared outside of standrewsradio.com, and test this with someone before sharing the form publicly * Demos ** Demos are the second part of show applications. They're basically an informal interview to hear people describe their idea. ** All shows, including returning shows, should go through demos in semester 1. Make sure the application form mentions this. ** Have a document ready to make notes, and share this with your assistant, and anyone else helping to run demos. ** Demos are a chance for people to explain their idea to you, especially if their application was unclear – sometimes people can explain a concept much better in person than in writing. ** Ask people to prepare the following for their demo: **# A verbal description of their show **# An overview of what their first show would sound like **# A preferred time slot – this may have changed since they completed the application form ** What to look for in a demo: **# Are they keen? **# Do they really want to be on air? **# Do they believe in their idea? **# Are they organised – did they arrive on time, with a clear idea, and everything you told them to prepare? * Scheduling ** Set aside an evening to meet with your assistant and the Station Manager ** Work through applications filling every available slot on the schedule ** Try to avoid getting a headache * Acceptance emails ** Send acceptances first, rejections last, incase a successful show has changed their mind, or can no longer do their allocated time ** Either you or the Station Manager should create a closed Facebook group for all show hosts to join ** Make sure every current host joins this group: include the link in acceptance emails, post it in last year's show group, and ask the Head Technician to remind everyone during training ** Include a PDF version of the show guide in acceptance emails ** Make it clear (in both acceptance and rejection emails) that every show will have to reapply in January ** Keep a list of current show hosts' emails, so you can copy and paste this whenever needed ** When sending mass emails, put the recipients in the "bcc" line, and your own email (or hello@) in the "to" line, and remember to cc the Station Manager * Training ** Once you have sent out acceptance emails to shows, the Head Technician will organise show training. This usually takes them a whole weekend. Whether you want to join them, and give programming advice to the shows here, is up to you. This advice should include: **# Arrive at least five minutes before your show is due to start **# Complete the sign-in book **# For your first show, script your introduction, and bring more music than you think you will need: one hour for music shows, half an hour for talk shows **# Plan the structure of each show using bullet points, but don't completely script beyond the intro * Sit-ins ** Create a copy of the schedule, with all new shows highlighted, and share this with committee@ ** All committee members who have had their own shows before must sign up to help ** Every new show must have a committee member with them for their first show ** Guidelines for sit-ins: **# Arrive early to help upload music to Myriad **# Help with tech, e.g. turning microphones on/off **# Give feedback afterwards, e.g. "work on improvising talk sections", "prepare more music" * As of [[2019/20]], new shows can apply throughout the semester. It should be a similar process, just for individual shows, as soon as their application comes in. Towards the end of the semester, let any new applicants know that their application will be reviewed at the start of semester 2, since there's not much point starting a new show in revision week. ==== January ==== * Application form ** Much the same as in semester 1, but ask if returning shows want to keep the same time slot as they had last semester if possible. * Demos ** Same as in semester 1, except returning shows are not usually required to have another demo. ** Use podcasts of returning shows to check they are of a good standard. ** Be biased towards returning shows that are actively engaged in STAR e.g. by submitting a bio for the website, having good publicity, attending events, etc. * Sit-ins ** Same as in semester 1, i.e. only new shows require sit-ins. ==== Throughout the year ==== * Attendance ** Create a private copy of the schedule each week, and colour-code each show as i) present, ii) absent with notification, iii) absent without notification, iv) absent for two weeks in a row without notification, v) absent for three weeks in a row ** To check attendance, use a combination of: **# Signatures in the sign-in book **# [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html Podcasts] **# Myriad login record – ask the Head Technician to show you how to access this, and to set your Myriad account up so it can access this ** It may help if you ask other committee members to send a picture of the sign-in book to [programming@standrewsradio.com programming@] whenever they go in for their show ** If you suspect a show was absent, always email the hosts; many people forget to complete the sign-in book or login to Myriad, and it's easy to mistake a music show's podcast for AutoFade ** If a show misses two weeks in a row, reach out to them. ** If a show misses three weeks in a row, with no contact, remove their show from the schedule. Update the schedule whenever this happens, and notify the Station Manager, Head Technician, and Head of Web, so they can remove the show from the website schedule, etc. * Skimming ** You can decide whether to check every show, or only check shows that request feedback. Hopefully you listen to a lot of shows anyway, so will know which ones need improvement. ** Ask other committee members to help, and use the [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html podcasts archive]. ** The aim of skimming is up to you and the Station Manager. You can decide to email feedback to all shows that need to improve, regardless of whether they request it. === Key dates === * Summer: ** Make the show application form ** Help the Head of Marketing promote the application forms for both shows, and assistant committee positions * Semester 1: ** Close applications around a week after Freshers' Fayre ** Prepare the schedule and send acceptance emails in the following week ** Aim to be on air by week 3, allowing a weekend for the Tech Team to train everyone beforehand * Christmas break: ** Help the Head of Marketing promote show applications * Semester 2: ** Close applications around the end of Refreshers' Week ** Aim to be on air by week 2 – there shouldn't be as many new shows, so the Tech Team hopefully won't need a whole weekend to train everyone === Links and tips === * [https://docs.google.com/forms Google Forms] – learn how to change sharing access to public, and how to use "jump to section" based on previous answers * [http://bit.ly bit.ly] – use this to create a short url for your master copy of the schedule.

You WILL need to send emails to everyone and this will make your life way easier. Also, I would suggest making a list of these emails so you can just copy and paste it, I’ve spent an hour going through the schedule and putting in each email one by one LEAVE THE LIVE LOUNGE SLOTS OPEN I’ve made this mistake S2, it’s made scheduling society specials so much harder (this will no longer be your job, but so as to not make the job of the Head of Marketing and Outreach really tedious--leave these slots open! If a returning show was in these slots, tell them that they’ll have scheduling priority S1) If there are shows in the Live Lounge slots (which I really recommend not doing), YOU MUST KEEP TRACK OF WHEN LIVE LOUNGES ARE HAPPENING AND EMAIL THEM TO LET THEM KNOW. FOR SOCIETY SPECIALS You will need to either train or host these specials When to train - If somebody wants to have a repeat special show, then you should train them. Sit in on their first show, then that’s it! They should be able to do the next few ones on their own. When to host - If this is just a one off special, it’s more time efficient to just host it for them! You wouldn’t be participating, just there to watch the levels and do the tech stuff. Be sure to keep in contact with Head of Marketing and Outreach to know when specials will be going on and if/who you need to train!

They may also want a space left for one-off shows, e.g. society collabs. ** Try to avoid getting a headache * Acceptance emails ** Send acceptances first, rejections last, incase a successful show has changed their mind, or can no longer do their allocated time ** Either you or the Station Manager should create a closed Facebook group for all show hosts to join ** Make sure every current host joins this group: include the link in acceptance emails, post it in last year's show group, and ask the Head Technician to remind everyone during training ** Include a PDF version of the show guide in acceptance emails ** Make it clear (in both acceptance and rejection emails) that every show will have to reapply in January ** Keep a list of current show hosts' emails, so you can copy and paste this whenever needed ** When sending mass emails, put the recipients in the "bcc" line, and your own email (or hello@) in the "to" line, and remember to cc the Station Manager * Training ** Once you have sent out acceptance emails to shows, the Head Technician will organise show training. This usually takes them a whole weekend. Whether you want to join them, and give programming advice to the shows here, is up to you. This advice should include: **# Arrive at least five minutes before your show is due to start **# Complete the sign-in book **# For your first show, script your introduction, and bring more music than you think you will need: one hour for music shows, half an hour for talk shows **# Plan the structure of each show using bullet points, but don't completely script beyond the intro * Sit-ins ** Create a copy of the schedule, with all new shows highlighted, and share this with committee@ ** All committee members who have had their own shows before must sign up to help ** Every new show must have a committee member with them for their first show ** Guidelines for sit-ins: **# Arrive early to help upload music to Myriad **# Help with tech, e.g. turning microphones on/off **# Give feedback afterwards, e.g. "work on improvising talk sections", "prepare more music" * As of [[2019/20]], new shows can apply throughout the semester. It should be a similar process, just for individual shows, as soon as their application comes in. Towards the end of the semester, let any new applicants know that their application will be reviewed at the start of semester 2, since there's not much point starting a new show in revision week. ==== January ==== * Application form ** Much the same as in semester 1, but ask if returning shows want to keep the same time slot as they had last semester if possible. * Demos ** Same as in semester 1, except returning shows are not usually required to have another demo. ** Use podcasts of returning shows to check they are of a good standard. ** Be biased towards returning shows that are actively engaged in STAR e.g. by submitting a bio for the website, having good publicity, attending events, etc. * Sit-ins ** Same as in semester 1, i.e. only new shows require sit-ins. ==== Throughout the year ==== * Attendance ** Create a private copy of the schedule each week, and colour-code each show as i) present, ii) absent with notification, iii) absent without notification, iv) absent for two weeks in a row without notification, v) absent for three weeks in a row ** To check attendance, use a combination of: **# Signatures in the sign-in book **# [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html Podcasts] **# Myriad login record – ask the Head Technician to show you how to access this, and to set your Myriad account up so it can access this ** It may help if you ask other committee members to send a picture of the sign-in book to [programming@standrewsradio.com programming@] whenever they go in for their show ** If you suspect a show was absent, always email the hosts; many people forget to complete the sign-in book or login to Myriad, and it's easy to mistake a music show's podcast for AutoFade ** If a show misses two weeks in a row, reach out to them. ** If a show misses three weeks in a row, with no contact, remove their show from the schedule. Update the schedule whenever this happens, and notify the Station Manager, Head Technician, and Head of Web, so they can remove the show from the website schedule, etc. * Skimming ** You can decide whether to check every show, or only check shows that request feedback. Hopefully you listen to a lot of shows anyway, so will know which ones need improvement. ** Ask other committee members to help, and use the [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html podcasts archive]. ** The aim of skimming is up to you and the Station Manager. You can decide to email feedback to all shows that need to improve, regardless of whether they request it. === Key dates === * Summer: ** Make the show application form ** Help the Head of Marketing promote the application forms for both shows, and assistant committee positions * Semester 1: ** Close applications around a week after Freshers' Fayre ** Prepare the schedule and send acceptance emails in the following week ** Aim to be on air by week 3, allowing a weekend for the Tech Team to train everyone beforehand * Christmas break: ** Help the Head of Marketing promote show applications * Semester 2: ** Close applications around the end of Refreshers' Week ** Aim to be on air by week 2 – there shouldn't be as many new shows, so the Tech Team hopefully won't need a whole weekend to train everyone === Links and tips === * [https://docs.google.com/forms Google Forms] – learn how to change sharing access to public, and how to use "jump to section" based on previous answers * [http://bit.ly bit.ly] – use this to create a short url for your master copy of the schedule.

(Re)Freshers' Fayre is a good place to do this. * Write articles yourself * Use Wordpress to post articles on [https://standrewsradio.com/the-record standrewsradio.com/the-record] * Contact other committees to arrange press passes for events, for both your writers and photographers. This is important for both big and small events. * Plan events to preview/review well in advance * Schedule regular writers' meetings, ideally every fortnight, to discuss columns, playlists, and event coverage. * Respond to emails asking for coverage. * Publicise The Record's Facebook page, and share articles on this page. If it's a particularly good article, ask the Head of Marketing to share The Record's post on STAR's Facebook page. * Create a Messenger group for your writers and illustrators, and send regular reminders of deadlines. * Ensure articles are at least 400 words long. * Make sure articles include plenty of (relevant) photos. * Ask the Head of Web, Head Technician, or Station Manager for help with Wordpress, especially when you first join the committee. The Head of Web should give you a restricted account, so you shouldn't have to worry about breaking the whole website. * When posting an article on Wordpress, be sure to include the date and author's name at the top of the post. * Split these tasks between yourself and your assistant. === Links and tips === * [https://www.facebook.com/TheRecordStA The Record] on Facebook * [https://www.facebook.com/groups/614542812284275 Contributors group] on Facebook – consider making a new group if the current one is full of ancient graduates * [http://standrewsradio.com/wp-admin Wordpress login] * [https://drive.google.com drive.google.com] * [https://www.facebook.com/events Facebook events] – use this to browse for events to cover === Contacts === * Previous Head of News, e.g. [mailto:cady.crowley@standrewsradio.com Cady Crowley] e0b5db61d6c7ca455821301901970a1f86cf669a 0 30 457 72 2020-01-16T21:47:50Z Tom 2 Handover wikitext text/x-wiki The Head of Web is responsible for maintaining the website content, server, and relevant certificates.

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web (or Head Technician) can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer.

The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it.

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web (or Head Technician) can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples.

''Adapted from 2018/19 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members).

This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer.

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This includes updating the constitution with all committee positions you intend to have.<br /><br /> # When choosing your committee members, don't let other people influence your decision. The DoES and outgoing Station Manager sit in on the interviews, and will naturally form their own opinions about each candidate. They are meant to act as resources, and can help you talk through the pros and cons of certain choices. The outgoing Station Manager will know which reapplying committee members have worked hard, but in the end, it's important that you feel confident about your newly-elected committee.<br /><br /> # It might be tempting to give committee positions to your friends, but it's important to give people a position on the STAR committee based on their own merit, and how passionate they are about the job.<br /><br /> # When choosing a committee, take their previous involvement with STAR into consideration. Do they go to every event? Have they hosted two shows for the last year? Or have they appeared out of nowhere, claiming to listen to lots of shows?<br /><br /> # It can be difficult to become friends with committee members if you only see them once a week during committee meetings. You can’t force friendship, especially if you’re constantly assigning people arduous tasks, but it’s important to make sure your committee members know you value their hard work.<br /><br /> # Sadly, there isn’t always enough time in the academic year to fulfil every promise made in your manifesto, but don’t get discouraged! Try to focus your attention on projects you feel can be achieved and will directly benefit the student experience.<br /><br /> # You will inevitably hit a point in the semester when your committee loses momentum. Firstly, send out a quick questionnaire with questions like "how could meetings be improved", "how could the committee be more enjoyable", and "what do you think is STAR’s biggest weakness". Then organise quick meetings with the Deputy Station Manager and each committee member separately; this gives the committee a chance to chat properly with you about any concerns or stresses.<br /><br /> # If you are unfortunate and have a committee member who is lacking in commitment, misses meetings, or isn’t doing their job, you may need to reconsider their position. Firstly, don’t jump to any conclusions; they might be having a hard time at home, struggling with their studies, have family issues, or in an argument with their best friend, so don’t presume anything. Secondly, organise a one-to-one meeting with them, and give them the opportunity to explain why they aren’t 110%. They might then opt out of committee, but equally this may kick start them.<br /><br /> # Whenever you have issues, talk to the DoES. They're there to help you, and will have been through this with another subcommittee for sure!<br /><br /> # Have fun! This is your opportunity to be freakishly involved with any and all aspects of STAR. Take advantage of the fact that you can bring about real change and improve the student experience. Don't be afraid to test something new, and accept that you will run into a lot of challenges.<br /><br /> # Don't have too much fun! You have a degree to finish. === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com].

This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This includes updating the constitution with all committee positions you intend to have.<br /><br /> # When choosing your committee members, don't let other people influence your decision. The DoES and outgoing Station Manager sit in on the interviews, and will naturally form their own opinions about each candidate. They are meant to act as resources, and can help you talk through the pros and cons of certain choices. The outgoing Station Manager will know which reapplying committee members have worked hard, but in the end, it's important that you feel confident about your newly-elected committee.<br /><br /> # It might be tempting to give committee positions to your friends, but it's important to give people a position on the STAR committee based on their own merit, and how passionate they are about the job.<br /><br /> # When choosing a committee, take their previous involvement with STAR into consideration. Do they go to every event? Have they hosted two shows for the last year? Or have they appeared out of nowhere, claiming to listen to lots of shows?<br /><br /> # It can be difficult to become friends with committee members if you only see them once a week during committee meetings. You can’t force friendship, especially if you’re constantly assigning people arduous tasks, but it’s important to make sure your committee members know you value their hard work.<br /><br /> # Sadly, there isn’t always enough time in the academic year to fulfil every promise made in your manifesto, but don’t get discouraged! Try to focus your attention on projects you feel can be achieved and will directly benefit the student experience.<br /><br /> # You will inevitably hit a point in the semester when your committee loses momentum. Firstly, send out a quick questionnaire with questions like "how could meetings be improved", "how could the committee be more enjoyable", and "what do you think is STAR’s biggest weakness". Then organise quick meetings with the Deputy Station Manager and each committee member separately; this gives the committee a chance to chat properly with you about any concerns or stresses.<br /><br /> # If you are unfortunate and have a committee member who is lacking in commitment, misses meetings, or isn’t doing their job, you may need to reconsider their position. Firstly, don’t jump to any conclusions; they might be having a hard time at home, struggling with their studies, have family issues, or in an argument with their best friend, so don’t presume anything. Secondly, organise a one-to-one meeting with them, and give them the opportunity to explain why they aren’t 110%. They might then opt out of committee, but equally this may kick start them.<br /><br /> # Whenever you have issues, talk to the DoES. They're there to help you, and will have been through this with another subcommittee for sure!<br /><br /> # Have fun! This is your opportunity to be freakishly involved with any and all aspects of STAR. Take advantage of the fact that you can bring about real change and improve the student experience. Don't be afraid to test something new, and accept that you will run into a lot of challenges.<br /><br /> # Don't have too much fun! You have a degree to finish. === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members).

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed.

Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This goes for things like old STAR Facebook posts which no longer link to a valid page, old show pages on the website, and old articles on The Record. They might seem insignificant, but having all of these minor parts together really helps to build a sense of progress and history. It also helps when working on the archive! === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members).

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary.

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam send to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This includes updating the constitution with all committee positions you intend to have.<br /><br /> # When choosing your committee members, don't let other people influence your decision. The DoES and outgoing Station Manager sit in on the interviews, and will naturally form their own opinions about each candidate. They are meant to act as resources, and can help you talk through the pros and cons of certain choices. The outgoing Station Manager will know which reapplying committee members have worked hard, but in the end, it's important that you feel confident about your newly-elected committee.<br /><br /> # It might be tempting to give committee positions to your friends, but it's important to give people a position on the STAR committee based on their own merit, and how passionate they are about the job.<br /><br /> # When choosing a committee, take their previous involvement with STAR into consideration. Do they go to every event? Have they hosted two shows for the last year? Or have they appeared out of nowhere, claiming to listen to lots of shows?<br /><br /> # It can be difficult to become friends with committee members if you only see them once a week during committee meetings. You can’t force friendship, especially if you’re constantly assigning people arduous tasks, but it’s important to make sure your committee members know you value their hard work.<br /><br /> # Sadly, there isn’t always enough time in the academic year to fulfil every promise made in your manifesto, but don’t get discouraged! Try to focus your attention on projects you feel can be achieved and will directly benefit the student experience.<br /><br /> # You will inevitably hit a point in the semester when your committee loses momentum. Firstly, send out a quick questionnaire with questions like "how could meetings be improved", "how could the committee be more enjoyable", and "what do you think is STAR’s biggest weakness". Then organise quick meetings with the Deputy Station Manager and each committee member separately; this gives the committee a chance to chat properly with you about any concerns or stresses.<br /><br /> # If you are unfortunate and have a committee member who is lacking in commitment, misses meetings, or isn’t doing their job, you may need to reconsider their position. Firstly, don’t jump to any conclusions; they might be having a hard time at home, struggling with their studies, have family issues, or in an argument with their best friend, so don’t presume anything. Secondly, organise a one-to-one meeting with them, and give them the opportunity to explain why they aren’t 110%. They might then opt out of committee, but equally this may kick start them.<br /><br /> # Whenever you have issues, talk to the DoES. They're there to help you, and will have been through this with another subcommittee for sure!<br /><br /> # Have fun! This is your opportunity to be freakishly involved with any and all aspects of STAR. Take advantage of the fact that you can bring about real change and improve the student experience. Don't be afraid to test something new, and accept that you will run into a lot of challenges.<br /><br /> # Don't have too much fun!

To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam sent to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This includes updating the constitution with all committee positions you intend to have.<br /><br /> # When choosing your committee members, don't let other people influence your decision. The DoES and outgoing Station Manager sit in on the interviews, and will naturally form their own opinions about each candidate. They are meant to act as resources, and can help you talk through the pros and cons of certain choices. The outgoing Station Manager will know which reapplying committee members have worked hard, but in the end, it's important that you feel confident about your newly-elected committee.<br /><br /> # It might be tempting to give committee positions to your friends, but it's important to give people a position on the STAR committee based on their own merit, and how passionate they are about the job.<br /><br /> # When choosing a committee, take their previous involvement with STAR into consideration. Do they go to every event? Have they hosted two shows for the last year? Or have they appeared out of nowhere, claiming to listen to lots of shows?<br /><br /> # It can be difficult to become friends with committee members if you only see them once a week during committee meetings. You can’t force friendship, especially if you’re constantly assigning people arduous tasks, but it’s important to make sure your committee members know you value their hard work.<br /><br /> # Sadly, there isn’t always enough time in the academic year to fulfil every promise made in your manifesto, but don’t get discouraged! Try to focus your attention on projects you feel can be achieved and will directly benefit the student experience.<br /><br /> # You will inevitably hit a point in the semester when your committee loses momentum. Firstly, send out a quick questionnaire with questions like "how could meetings be improved", "how could the committee be more enjoyable", and "what do you think is STAR’s biggest weakness". Then organise quick meetings with the Deputy Station Manager and each committee member separately; this gives the committee a chance to chat properly with you about any concerns or stresses.<br /><br /> # If you are unfortunate and have a committee member who is lacking in commitment, misses meetings, or isn’t doing their job, you may need to reconsider their position. Firstly, don’t jump to any conclusions; they might be having a hard time at home, struggling with their studies, have family issues, or in an argument with their best friend, so don’t presume anything. Secondly, organise a one-to-one meeting with them, and give them the opportunity to explain why they aren’t 110%. They might then opt out of committee, but equally this may kick start them.<br /><br /> # Whenever you have issues, talk to the DoES. They're there to help you, and will have been through this with another subcommittee for sure!<br /><br /> # Have fun! This is your opportunity to be freakishly involved with any and all aspects of STAR. Take advantage of the fact that you can bring about real change and improve the student experience. Don't be afraid to test something new, and accept that you will run into a lot of challenges.<br /><br /> # Don't have too much fun! You have a degree to finish.<br /><br /> # Try to avoid deleting any old stuff, and make sure your committee is in the same mindset. This goes for things like old STAR Facebook posts which no longer link to a valid page, old show pages on the website, and old articles on The Record. They might seem insignificant, but having all of these minor parts together really helps to build a sense of progress and history. It also helps when working on the archive! === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members). '''It is essential that you check the necessary people have access to the correct accounts for the committee to function smoothly.''' {| class="wikitable" |- ! Account !

In most years, they are also expected to keep the studio clean and tidy, and to help with tech at STAR gigs and external broadcasts. They are also responsible for managing the station's PPL license, and creating Myriad logins for shows. The position used to be called the Director of Audio Engineering, with a focus on the studio equipment, and the rest of the committee helping to keep the studio tidy. Nowadays, it is more common for the Head Technician to be responsible for the studio computers, network, and web stream, as well as much of the website maintenance and content. They therefore work closely with the Head of Web. For more information on studio equipment, see [[Studio Equipment]]. == Previous Head Technicians == {| class="wikitable" |- ! Year ! Name !

The responsibilities of the assistant are normally up to the Head Technician. Assistants are usually appointed in March, at the same time as the rest of the committee. However, in 2019/20 the assistants were appointed in September, to allow new students to apply. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Year ! Name !

In 2010, there was a team of people dedicated to outside broadcasts, which allowed STAR to cover far more events. [https://www.facebook.com/notes/star-st-andrews-student-radio/a-list-of-important-things-you-all-should-read-concerning-the-restart/343850429477 [Source]] == Handover == === Intro === As the Head Technician, you are in charge of all station equipment. This means keeping the studio fully working, thinking of new equipment we can buy to improve shows, training every show host, and then responding to their messages asking for help throughout the semester. You may also be asked to operate live sound equipment at STAR events, broadcast live events, and train people to use our external recording equipment. This role can be very rewarding, and can open a lot of doors, if you engage with it properly. === Tasks === * When you first join the committee in April, meet up with the outgoing Head Technician in the studio, and go through all equipment together. Spend as much time as possible familiarising yourself with everything in the studio, control room, and our cupboard in the TV Edit Suite (The Saint's office). * Work with the Station Manager and Treasurer to prepare a budget for the next year. Think about what equipment we could buy, replace, or upgrade. The Treasurer has to submit a proposed budget to the Union around the end of May. * Download broadcasting software that can handle two streamers at once (MP3 and Ogg Vorbis). This will let you take over the live broadcast from your laptop. I recommend Ladiocast for Mac. * Download Audacity or another DAW if you haven’t already. * Show training: *# After show applications close in September, ask the Head of Programming to share their confirmed schedule, with show names, host names, and email addresses. *# Set aside a weekend to train all the new shows, and create a spreadsheet with available timeslots *# Share this spreadsheet with all shows. Post it in the shows group, and ask the Head of Programming or Secretary to send an email to all shows with a link to the spreadsheet. All new shows must be tech trained before going on air. *# If your assistant is ready to train people, or someone else on committee is capable, try to have 30 minute slots starting every 15 minutes, with one of you in the control room and one in the main studio. *# Work through a list of training points (example below). *# If the Head of Programming has asked you to go through some programming tips, do this at the end of each tech training session. * Repeat a smaller version of the training process in January (there should be fewer new shows). * Train any new shows that appear throughout the semester. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for each show, and make a list of the login details and cart range each account can edit. Make sure these accounts are in the "shows" permissions group. Pin the list in the shows hosts' Facebook group. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for committee members who need specific access, e.g. the Head of Programming needs to see the login report; the Head of Music needs to be able to edit a large cart range, and access the AutoFade presets/schedule; the Head of Production needs to be able to upload adverts and jingles, and schedule them. * Stay active in the show hosts' Facebook group; they will be relying on you to fix their tech problems all day, every day. * Keep the studio and equipment clean and tidy. * Make sure AutoFade is active whenever no show is on air. * Broadcast or record live events, especially live lounges. * Manage STAR's external recording equipment, including repairs, new equipment, loans to students, and training these students. * Work closely with the Head of Web and their assistant.

In most years, they are also expected to keep the studio clean and tidy, and to help with tech at STAR gigs and external broadcasts. They are also responsible for managing the station's PPL license, and creating Myriad logins for shows. The position used to be called the Director of Audio Engineering, with a focus on the studio equipment, and the rest of the committee helping to keep the studio tidy. Nowadays, it is more common for the Head Technician to be responsible for the studio computers, network, and web stream, as well as much of the website maintenance and content. They therefore work closely with the Head of Web. For more information on studio equipment, see [[Studio Equipment]]. == Previous Head Technicians == {| class="wikitable" |- ! Year ! Name !

The responsibilities of the assistant are normally up to the Head Technician. Assistants are usually appointed in March, at the same time as the rest of the committee. However, in 2019/20 the assistants were appointed in September, to allow new students to apply. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Year ! Name !

In 2010, there was a team of people dedicated to outside broadcasts, which allowed STAR to cover far more events. [https://www.facebook.com/notes/star-st-andrews-student-radio/a-list-of-important-things-you-all-should-read-concerning-the-restart/343850429477 [Source]] == Handover == === Intro === As the Head Technician, you are in charge of all station equipment. This means keeping the studio fully working, thinking of new equipment we can buy to improve shows, training every show host, and then responding to their messages asking for help throughout the semester. You may also be asked to operate live sound equipment at STAR events, broadcast live events, and train people to use our external recording equipment. This role can be very rewarding, and can open a lot of doors, if you engage with it properly. === Tasks === * When you first join the committee in April, meet up with the outgoing Head Technician in the studio, and go through all equipment together. Spend as much time as possible familiarising yourself with everything in the studio, control room, and our cupboard in the TV Edit Suite (The Saint's office). * Work with the Station Manager and Treasurer to prepare a budget for the next year. Think about what equipment we could buy, replace, or upgrade. The Treasurer has to submit a proposed budget to the Union around the end of May. * Download broadcasting software that can handle two streamers at once (MP3 and Ogg Vorbis). This will let you take over the live broadcast from your laptop. I recommend Ladiocast for Mac. * Download Audacity or another DAW if you haven’t already. * Show training: *# After show applications close in September, ask the Head of Programming to share their confirmed schedule, with show names, host names, and email addresses. *# Set aside a weekend to train all the new shows, and create a spreadsheet with available timeslots *# Share this spreadsheet with all shows. Post it in the shows group, and ask the Head of Programming or Secretary to send an email to all shows with a link to the spreadsheet. All new shows must be tech trained before going on air. *# If your assistant is ready to train people, or someone else on committee is capable, try to have 30 minute slots starting every 15 minutes, with one of you in the control room and one in the main studio. *# Work through a list of training points (example below). *# If the Head of Programming has asked you to go through some programming tips, do this at the end of each tech training session. * Repeat a smaller version of the training process in January (there should be fewer new shows). * Train any new shows that appear throughout the semester. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for each show, and make a list of the login details and cart range each account can edit. Make sure these accounts are in the "shows" permissions group. Pin the list in the shows hosts' Facebook group. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for committee members who need specific access, e.g. the Head of Programming needs to see the login report; the Head of Music needs to be able to edit a large cart range, and access the AutoFade presets/schedule; the Head of Production needs to be able to upload adverts and jingles, and schedule them. * Stay active in the show hosts' Facebook group; they will be relying on you to fix their tech problems all day, every day. * Keep the studio and equipment clean and tidy. * Make sure AutoFade is active whenever no show is on air. * Broadcast or record live events, especially live lounges. * Manage STAR's external recording equipment, including repairs, new equipment, loans to students, and training these students. * Manage STAR's licenses, including submitting quarterly PPL reports. * Work closely with the Head of Web and their assistant. Make a group chat with all of you, and the Station Manager. Your roles overlap a lot, and you should help each other with tasks wherever possible. This means you should have an active role in keeping the website up to date, and should know how to do many of the Head of Web's tasks if they are unavailable.

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created in an attempt to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay]], and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. A focus was put on live music, with numerous bands travelling from across Scotland to play at [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]], in addition to the usual student music in Rector's Cafe, Bell Pettigrew Museum, etc. The station's slogan changed from "Tune in to St Andrews" to "Listen responsibly", which was also used in [[2013/14]]. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- !

Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Sounds of Sandy's == The [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]] series began in September 2019. The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night.

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created in an attempt to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay]], and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. Show photos were organised for the first time since [[2014/15]] (citation needed). A focus was put on live music, with numerous bands travelling from across Scotland to play at [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]], in addition to the usual student music in Rector's Cafe, Bell Pettigrew Museum, etc. The station's slogan changed from "Tune in to St Andrews" to "Listen responsibly", which was also used in [[2013/14]]. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- !

Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Sounds of Sandy's == The [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]] series began in September 2019. The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night.

You will have to create application forms, arrange and run demos, build the schedule, organise first show sit-ins, organise show skimming/feedback, and track show attendance, all whilst being available to help out show hosts when they need you. It’s a difficult and time-consuming role, especially around the start of each semester, but it can be incredibly rewarding. === Tasks === ==== September ==== * Show application form ** Include the following: **# Name of show **# Emails of all hosts **# Show description for the website **# Whether they are a new or returning show **# At least five time slots they are available **# The attendance policy and station rules ** Check previous forms as examples ** Double-check that "required answer" is active for every question ** Double-check that the form can be shared outside of standrewsradio.com, and test this with someone before sharing the form publicly * Demos ** Demos are the second part of show applications. They're basically an informal interview to hear people describe their idea. ** All shows, including returning shows, should go through demos in semester 1. Make sure the application form mentions this. ** Have a document ready to make notes, and share this with your assistant, and anyone else helping to run demos. ** Demos are a chance for people to explain their idea to you, especially if their application was unclear – sometimes people can explain a concept much better in person than in writing. ** Ask people to prepare the following for their demo: **# A verbal description of their show **# An overview of what their first show would sound like **# A preferred time slot – this may have changed since they completed the application form ** What to look for in a demo: **# Are they keen? **# Do they really want to be on air? **# Do they believe in their idea? **# Are they organised – did they arrive on time, with a clear idea, and everything you told them to prepare? * Scheduling ** Set aside an evening to meet with your assistant and the Station Manager ** Work through applications filling every available slot on the schedule ** Remember to leave a space for the Office Hours show before committee meetings, and other committee shows if applicable (e.g. The Record's show), although they should have sent an application anyway! ** Leave a block empty for live lounges if the Station Manager requests this. They may also want a space left for one-off shows, e.g. society collabs. ** Try to avoid getting a headache * Acceptance emails ** Send acceptances first, rejections last, incase a successful show has changed their mind, or can no longer do their allocated time ** Either you or the Station Manager should create a closed Facebook group for all show hosts to join ** Make sure every current host joins this group: include the link in acceptance emails, post it in last year's show group, and ask the Head Technician to remind everyone during training ** Include a PDF version of the show guide in acceptance emails ** Make it clear (in both acceptance and rejection emails) that every show will have to reapply in January ** Keep a list of current show hosts' emails, so you can copy and paste this whenever needed ** When sending mass emails, put the recipients in the "bcc" line, and your own email (or hello@) in the "to" line, and remember to cc the Station Manager * Training ** Once you have sent out acceptance emails to shows, the Head Technician will organise show training. This usually takes them a whole weekend. Whether you want to join them, and give programming advice to the shows here, is up to you. This advice should include: **# Arrive at least five minutes before your show is due to start **# Complete the sign-in book **# For your first show, script your introduction, and bring more music than you think you will need: one hour for music shows, half an hour for talk shows **# Plan the structure of each show using bullet points, but don't completely script beyond the intro * Sit-ins ** Create a copy of the schedule, with all new shows highlighted, and share this with committee@ ** All committee members who have had their own shows before must sign up to help ** Every new show must have a committee member with them for their first show ** Guidelines for sit-ins: **# Arrive early to help upload music to Myriad **# Help with tech, e.g. turning microphones on/off **# Give feedback afterwards, e.g. "work on improvising talk sections", "prepare more music" * As of [[2019/20]], new shows can apply throughout the semester. It should be a similar process, just for individual shows, as soon as their application comes in. Towards the end of the semester, let any new applicants know that their application will be reviewed at the start of semester 2, since there's not much point starting a new show in revision week. ==== January ==== * Application form ** Much the same as in semester 1, but ask if returning shows want to keep the same time slot as they had last semester if possible. * Demos ** Same as in semester 1, except returning shows are not usually required to have another demo. ** Use podcasts of returning shows to check they are of a good standard. ** Be biased towards returning shows that are actively engaged in STAR e.g. by submitting a bio for the website, having good publicity, attending events, etc. * Sit-ins ** Same as in semester 1, i.e. only new shows require sit-ins. ==== Throughout the year ==== * Attendance ** Create a private copy of the schedule each week, and colour-code each show as i) present, ii) absent with notification, iii) absent without notification, iv) absent for two weeks in a row without notification, v) absent for three weeks in a row ** To check attendance, use a combination of: **# Signatures in the sign-in book **# [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html Podcasts] **# Myriad login record – ask the Head Technician to show you how to access this, and to set your Myriad account up so it can access this ** It may help if you ask other committee members to send a picture of the sign-in book to [programming@standrewsradio.com programming@] whenever they go in for their show ** If you suspect a show was absent, always email the hosts; many people forget to complete the sign-in book or login to Myriad, and it's easy to mistake a music show's podcast for AutoFade ** If a show misses two weeks in a row, reach out to them. ** If a show misses three weeks in a row, with no contact, remove their show from the schedule. Update the schedule whenever this happens, and notify the Station Manager, Head Technician, and Head of Web, so they can remove the show from the website schedule, etc. * Skimming ** You can decide whether to check every show, or only check shows that request feedback. Hopefully you listen to a lot of shows anyway, so will know which ones need improvement. ** Ask other committee members to help, and use the [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html podcasts archive]. ** The aim of skimming is up to you and the Station Manager. You can decide to email feedback to all shows that need to improve, regardless of whether they request it. === Key dates === * Summer: ** Make the show application form ** Help the Head of Marketing promote the application forms for both shows, and assistant committee positions * Semester 1: ** Close applications around a week after Freshers' Fayre ** Prepare the schedule and send acceptance emails in the following week ** Aim to be on air by week 3, allowing a weekend for the Tech Team to train everyone beforehand * Christmas break: ** Help the Head of Marketing promote show applications * Semester 2: ** Close applications around the end of Refreshers' Week ** Aim to be on air by week 2 – there shouldn't be as many new shows, so the Tech Team hopefully won't need a whole weekend to train everyone === Links and tips === * [https://docs.google.com/forms Google Forms] – learn how to change sharing access to public, and how to use "jump to section" based on previous answers * [http://bit.ly bit.ly] – use this to create a short url for your master copy of the schedule. (The Head of Marketing may be able to redirect bit.ly/starschedule to the newest version.) ** Include show names, host names, and emails on this version of the schedule ** Send this schedule to the Head of Web and Head Technician, so they can update the website schedule and Myriad database === Contacts === * Previous Head of Programming, e.g. [mailto:blandine.hoge@standrewsradio.com Blandine Hoge]; [mailto:annarose.harris@standrewsradio.com Anna Harris] b5138c4772dfa0a0f1aea696ebd4eb84f18b518c 0 28 471 450 2020-01-17T14:51:50Z Tom 2 /* Tasks */ wikitext text/x-wiki The Head of Music is responsible for updating the database of music on Myriad, and responding to emails and letters from artists requesting airtime.

This got worse with time, but was helped by opening the mixer and scraping fluff out of each fader. Eventually this cleaning process stopped improving the jitter. A new fader was ordered for £28.78 from Broadcast Radio in April 2019 to confirm that the faders were the problem. A further eight faders were then installed in August 2019 at a cost of £191.90. One of the eight new faders was bent in transit; a replacement was sent free of charge, and installed in September 2019. Immediately after the set of eight new faders were installed, the mixer went completely dead. Upon inspection, part of the power supply appeared to have overheated. The PSU's earth wire was also found to be loose, though this was likely caused by the inspection. A new SRM PSU was ordered from Broadcast Radio for £167.94, and installed in September 2019. The mixer then worked perfectly. = Microphones = {| class="wikitable" |- ! Model ! Use ! In use since !

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created in an attempt to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay]], and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. Show photos were organised for the first time since [[2014/15]] (citation needed). A focus was put on live music, with numerous bands travelling from across Scotland to play at [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]], in addition to the usual student music in Rector's Cafe, Bell Pettigrew Museum, etc. The station's slogan changed from "Tune in to St Andrews" to "Listen responsibly", which was also used in [[2013/14]]. A list of [[Future ideas|future ideas]] was started. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- ! Position !

Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Sounds of Sandy's == The [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]] series began in September 2019. The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. == T-shirt competition == Submissions were open over the winter break. Almost every design received was posted on [https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10162663033480315 Facebook]. One like counted as one vote. Voting was open for one week. The winner received £50 from STAR. === Results === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name !

Three of the six assistant positions were taken up by first years, who otherwise wouldn't have been able to apply until March/April 2020. Being first years, they had noticeably more time to dedicate to STAR. * Having assistants for people who want them, instead of sticking to the constitution. * Using [http://bit.ly bit.ly] for things like /TrainingSignup, /ShowSchedule, /ShowApplications, etc. This saved an enormous amount of time for everyone, not just the committee. * Telling shows to include an image from [http://bit.ly/starlogos bit.ly/starlogos] in the corner of their page cover photo. * Having individual meetings and a questionnaire for committee members around week 9 of semester 1, instead of the usual committee meeting. * Removing the three slots reserved on Thursday evenings for live broadcasts; focusing on publishing recordings of live events on Mixcloud was much more effective. * Making slots available whenever the Union is open, i.e. 9am-2am. * Allowing new show applications throughout the semester, though this could have been streamlined by faster demos and a clear cutoff a few weeks before exams. * Sticking to one show Facebook group for the whole year. * Having a group chat for show hosts, committee members, and anyone interested in STAR to join. * Using the interactive schedule within our Wordpress theme, instead of using a screenshot of a spreadsheet. Please please please continue this. * Using Mixcloud to host podcasts, though you can no longer jump backwards on a mix without a paid account. Mixcloud could have been embedded into our website in a better way (see [https://ury.org.uk ury.org.uk]). * Having a [http://bit.ly/starfesto list of aims] for the year. * Adding a pop-up form to join the mailing list on the website homepage greatly improved mailing list reach. * Kieran's podcast email bot worked well in general, though would benefit from an unsubscribe button. === Changes that didn't work === * The mixer when it broke a week before the start of semester 1. * Regular rotation. Not sure anyone really understood it. Might be worth implementing over a few daytime slots in the future for the sake of trying to get played in local businesses, but try not to make a big deal out of it. * A show host suggested that the show application form might be better without distinguishing between a main host and co-hosts. * Booking two hours for committee meetings: people didn't even want to stay one hour. * Struggled to form an Outside Broadcast (OB) team or cover many events, in part due to a lack of awareness amongst the general student population, leading to a lack of interest. * We may have ordered way too many phone wallets. * Selling USB sticks for £2 instead of giving them away likely would have worked a lot better if they were ready for sale before the main tech training weekend. * Keeping applications for semester 2 shows open from late November worked well, but lots of people forgot if they applied. Email confirmation may help this. (See [https://www.labnol.org/internet/auto-confirmation-emails/28386 here].) * Adverts: committee agreed we weren't ready to run paid adverts for local businesses. Decided that STAR should wait until listener stats are reliably available, and the Head of Production is comfortable copyrighting (or a well-planned system for businesses sending adverts, instead of STAR producing them). * There were a lot of issues/complaints about clearing Myriad audiowall over winter break. If this needs to happen again next year, plenty of warning should be given. 213f7ba9f918b3ddb4b1cf6a0e2b6a4d64c5d764 0 24 509 441 2020-02-08T16:45:42Z Tom 2 where to promote wikitext text/x-wiki The Head of Marketing is responsible for promoting STAR to the student population, the local community, and the world.

Good luck! === Tasks === * Decide on promotional merchandise to give out at Freshers’ Week events, working with the Station Manager and Head of Design. Decide on quantities, and order everything early in summer. Remember you can get things delivered to the Union. Examples: USB sticks, stickers, business cards, lanyards. * Order committee merch, again early in summer. This should be pre-order only, and everyone on committee should pay for what they ordered before collecting it. Examples: jumpers. * Order merch for assistants, once they join the committee in September. * Order more merch throughout the year. Pre-orders are best for more expensive items.

You need to make sure every STAR event runs smoothly, by checking which dates and times avoid clashes with other large events, booking suitable venues, making sure events are promoted effectively, arranging any items needed for an event, and dealing with any unpredictable problems. === Tasks === * Before summer, work with the Station Manager and Treasurer to plan a budget for the next year. Try to plan the year's events now (as much as possible), so you know how much money you'll need. The budget is never set in stone, so don't worry about slight changes later in the year. The Treasurer has to submit the proposed budget to the Union around the end of May. * Check STAR's [https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/events past events] for ideas * Over summer and winter break, plan events for the following semester. It helps to create a planning calendar on Google Sheets, that you can share with other committee members. Aim to have dates and venues confirmed before the start of semester, wherever possible. * Have one or two show socials each semester. Check when the Head of Programming is planning to have shows on air (or at least confirmed) before picking a date for a show social. * Introduce yourself to the DoES, DoSDA, and Ents Convenor, as you'll be needing their help a lot throughout the year. * Book spaces as soon as possible. As a subcommittee, we get a week to book Union spaces before societies towards the end of summer – don't miss this deadline, and always aim to book Union spaces at least three weeks in advance.

You need to make sure every STAR event runs smoothly, by checking which dates and times avoid clashes with other large events, booking suitable venues, making sure events are promoted effectively, arranging any items needed for an event, and dealing with any unpredictable problems. === Tasks === * Before summer, work with the Station Manager and Treasurer to plan a budget for the next year. Try to plan the year's events now (as much as possible), so you know how much money you'll need. The budget is never set in stone, so don't worry about slight changes later in the year. The Treasurer has to submit the proposed budget to the Union around the end of May. * Check STAR's [https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/events past events] for ideas * Over summer and winter break, plan events for the following semester. It helps to create a planning calendar on Google Sheets, that you can share with other committee members. Aim to have dates and venues confirmed before the start of semester, wherever possible. * Have one or two show socials each semester. Check when the Head of Programming is planning to have shows on air (or at least confirmed) before picking a date for a show social. * Introduce yourself to the DoES, DoSDA, and Ents Convenor, as you'll be needing their help a lot throughout the year. * Book spaces as soon as possible. As a subcommittee, we get a week to book Union spaces before societies towards the end of summer – don't miss this deadline, and always aim to book Union spaces at least three weeks in advance. If you asked for help from Ents, attend their "users meeting" at least two weeks before the event. * Create a risk assessment for any one-off events, e.g. a bonfire, and send this to [mailto:unionra@st-andrews.ac.uk unionra@], at least two weeks before the event. * Make sure STAR hosts live music events at least once a fortnight, with a mix of student and external musicians.

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam sent to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This includes updating the constitution with all committee positions you intend to have.<br /><br /> # When choosing your committee members, don't let other people influence your decision. The DoES and outgoing Station Manager sit in on the interviews, and will naturally form their own opinions about each candidate. They are meant to act as resources, and can help you talk through the pros and cons of certain choices. The outgoing Station Manager will know which reapplying committee members have worked hard, but in the end, it's important that you feel confident about your newly-elected committee.<br /><br /> # It might be tempting to give committee positions to your friends, but it's important to give people a position on the STAR committee based on their own merit, and how passionate they are about the job.<br /><br /> # When choosing a committee, take their previous involvement with STAR into consideration. Do they go to every event? Have they hosted two shows for the last year? Or have they appeared out of nowhere, claiming to listen to lots of shows?<br /><br /> # It can be difficult to become friends with committee members if you only see them once a week during committee meetings. You can’t force friendship, especially if you’re constantly assigning people arduous tasks, but it’s important to make sure your committee members know you value their hard work.<br /><br /> # Sadly, there isn’t always enough time in the academic year to fulfil every promise made in your manifesto, but don’t get discouraged! Try to focus your attention on projects you feel can be achieved and will directly benefit the student experience.<br /><br /> # You will inevitably hit a point in the semester when your committee loses momentum. Firstly, send out a quick questionnaire with questions like "how could meetings be improved", "how could the committee be more enjoyable", and "what do you think is STAR’s biggest weakness". Then organise quick meetings with the Deputy Station Manager and each committee member separately; this gives the committee a chance to chat properly with you about any concerns or stresses.<br /><br /> # If you are unfortunate and have a committee member who is lacking in commitment, misses meetings, or isn’t doing their job, you may need to reconsider their position. Firstly, don’t jump to any conclusions; they might be having a hard time at home, struggling with their studies, have family issues, or in an argument with their best friend, so don’t presume anything. Secondly, organise a one-to-one meeting with them, and give them the opportunity to explain why they aren’t 110%. They might then opt out of committee, but equally this may kick start them.<br /><br /> # Whenever you have issues, talk to the DoES. They're there to help you, and will have been through this with another subcommittee for sure!<br /><br /> # Have fun! This is your opportunity to be freakishly involved with any and all aspects of STAR. Take advantage of the fact that you can bring about real change and improve the student experience. Don't be afraid to test something new, and accept that you will run into a lot of challenges.<br /><br /> # Don't have too much fun! You have a degree to finish.<br /><br /> # Try to avoid deleting any old stuff, and make sure your committee is in the same mindset. This goes for things like old STAR Facebook posts which no longer link to a valid page, old show pages on the website, and old articles on The Record. They might seem insignificant, but having all of these minor parts together really helps to build a sense of progress and history. It also helps when working on the archive! === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members).

The responsibilities of the assistant are usually decided by the Head of Programming. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Year ! Name !

Adapted from 2019 handover document, written by Blandine Hoge.'' === Intro === As Head of Programming, you’re in charge of choosing who gets to host a show each semester, and making sure that STAR shows are the best they can be. You will have to create application forms, arrange and run demos, build the schedule, organise first show sit-ins, organise show skimming/feedback, and track show attendance, all whilst being available to help out show hosts when they need you. It’s a difficult and time-consuming role, especially around the start of each semester, but it can be incredibly rewarding. === Tasks === ==== September ==== * Show application form ** Include the following: **# Name of show **# Emails of all hosts **# Show description for the website **# Whether they are a new or returning show **# At least five time slots they are available **# The attendance policy and station rules ** Check previous forms as examples ** Double-check that "required answer" is active for every question ** Double-check that the form can be shared outside of standrewsradio.com, and test this with someone before sharing the form publicly * Demos ** Demos are the second part of show applications. They're basically an informal interview to hear people describe their idea. ** All shows, including returning shows, should go through demos in semester 1. Make sure the application form mentions this. ** Have a document ready to make notes, and share this with your assistant, and anyone else helping to run demos. ** Demos are a chance for people to explain their idea to you, especially if their application was unclear – sometimes people can explain a concept much better in person than in writing. ** Ask people to prepare the following for their demo: **# A verbal description of their show **# An overview of what their first show would sound like **# A preferred time slot – this may have changed since they completed the application form ** What to look for in a demo: **# Are they keen? **# Do they really want to be on air? **# Do they believe in their idea? **# Are they organised – did they arrive on time, with a clear idea, and everything you told them to prepare? * Scheduling ** Set aside an evening to meet with your assistant and the Station Manager ** Work through applications filling every available slot on the schedule ** Remember to leave a space for the Office Hours show before committee meetings, and other committee shows if applicable (e.g. The Record's show), although they should have sent an application anyway! ** Leave a block empty for live lounges if the Station Manager requests this. They may also want a space left for one-off shows, e.g. society collabs. ** Try to avoid getting a headache * Acceptance emails ** Send acceptances first, rejections last, incase a successful show has changed their mind, or can no longer do their allocated time ** Either you or the Station Manager should create a closed Facebook group for all show hosts to join ** Make sure every current host joins this group: include the link in acceptance emails, post it in last year's show group, and ask the Head Technician to remind everyone during training ** Include a PDF version of the show guide in acceptance emails ** Make it clear (in both acceptance and rejection emails) that every show will have to reapply in January ** Keep a list of current show hosts' emails, so you can copy and paste this whenever needed ** When sending mass emails, put the recipients in the "bcc" line, and your own email (or hello@) in the "to" line, and remember to cc the Station Manager * Training ** Once you have sent out acceptance emails to shows, the Head Technician will organise show training. This usually takes them a whole weekend. Whether you want to join them, and give programming advice to the shows here, is up to you. This advice should include: **# Arrive at least five minutes before your show is due to start **# Complete the sign-in book **# For your first show, script your introduction, and bring more music than you think you will need: one hour for music shows, half an hour for talk shows **# Plan the structure of each show using bullet points, but don't completely script beyond the intro * Sit-ins ** Create a copy of the schedule, with all new shows highlighted, and share this with committee@ ** All committee members who have had their own shows before must sign up to help ** Every new show must have a committee member with them for their first show ** Guidelines for sit-ins: **# Arrive early to help upload music to Myriad **# Help with tech, e.g. turning microphones on/off **# Give feedback afterwards, e.g. "work on improvising talk sections", "prepare more music" * As of [[2019/20]], new shows can apply throughout the semester. It should be a similar process, just for individual shows, as soon as their application comes in. Towards the end of the semester, let any new applicants know that their application will be reviewed at the start of semester 2, since there's not much point starting a new show in revision week. ==== January ==== * Application form ** Much the same as in semester 1, but ask if returning shows want to keep the same time slot as they had last semester if possible. * Demos ** Same as in semester 1, except returning shows are not usually required to have another demo. ** Use podcasts of returning shows to check they are of a good standard. ** Be biased towards returning shows that are actively engaged in STAR e.g. by submitting a bio for the website, having good publicity, attending events, etc. * Sit-ins ** Same as in semester 1, i.e. only new shows require sit-ins. ==== Throughout the year ==== * Attendance ** Create a private copy of the schedule each week, and colour-code each show as i) present, ii) absent with notification, iii) absent without notification, iv) absent for two weeks in a row without notification, v) absent for three weeks in a row ** To check attendance, use a combination of: **# Signatures in the sign-in book **# [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html Podcasts] **# Myriad login record – ask the Head Technician to show you how to access this, and to set your Myriad account up so it can access this ** It may help if you ask other committee members to send a picture of the sign-in book to [programming@standrewsradio.com programming@] whenever they go in for their show ** If you suspect a show was absent, always email the hosts; many people forget to complete the sign-in book or login to Myriad, and it's easy to mistake a music show's podcast for AutoFade ** If a show misses two weeks in a row, reach out to them. ** If a show misses three weeks in a row, with no contact, remove their show from the schedule. Update the schedule whenever this happens, and notify the Station Manager, Head Technician, and Head of Web, so they can remove the show from the website schedule, etc. * Skimming ** You can decide whether to check every show, or only check shows that request feedback. Hopefully you listen to a lot of shows anyway, so will know which ones need improvement. ** Ask other committee members to help, and use the [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html podcasts archive]. ** The aim of skimming is up to you and the Station Manager. You can decide to email feedback to all shows that need to improve, regardless of whether they request it. === Key dates === * Summer: ** Make the show application form ** Help the Head of Marketing promote the application forms for both shows, and assistant committee positions * Semester 1: ** Close applications around a week after Freshers' Fayre ** Prepare the schedule and send acceptance emails in the following week ** Aim to be on air by week 3, allowing a weekend for the Tech Team to train everyone beforehand * Christmas break: ** Help the Head of Marketing promote show applications * Semester 2: ** Close applications around the end of Refreshers' Week ** Aim to be on air by week 2 – there shouldn't be as many new shows, so the Tech Team hopefully won't need a whole weekend to train everyone === Links and tips === * [https://docs.google.com/forms Google Forms] – learn how to change sharing access to public, and how to use "jump to section" based on previous answers * [http://bit.ly bit.ly] – use this to create a short url for your master copy of the schedule.

This role can be very rewarding, and can open a lot of doors, if you engage with it properly. === Tasks === * When you first join the committee in April, meet up with the outgoing Head Technician in the studio, and go through all equipment together. Spend as much time as possible familiarising yourself with everything in the studio, control room, and our cupboard in the TV Edit Suite (The Saint's office). * Work with the Station Manager and Treasurer to prepare a budget for the next year. Think about what equipment we could buy, replace, or upgrade. The Treasurer has to submit a proposed budget to the Union around the end of May. * Download broadcasting software that can handle two streamers at once (MP3 and Ogg Vorbis). This will let you take over the live broadcast from your laptop. I recommend Ladiocast for Mac. * Download Audacity or another DAW if you haven’t already. * Show training: *# After show applications close in September, ask the Head of Programming to share their confirmed schedule, with show names, host names, and email addresses. *# Set aside a weekend to train all the new shows, and create a spreadsheet with available timeslots *# Share this spreadsheet with all shows. Post it in the shows group, and ask the Head of Programming or Secretary to send an email to all shows with a link to the spreadsheet. All new shows must be tech trained before going on air. *# If your assistant is ready to train people, or someone else on committee is capable, try to have 30 minute slots starting every 15 minutes, with one of you in the control room and one in the main studio. *# Work through a list of training points (example below). *# If the Head of Programming has asked you to go through some programming tips, do this at the end of each tech training session. * Repeat a smaller version of the training process in January (there should be fewer new shows). * Train any new shows that appear throughout the semester. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for each show, and make a list of the login details and cart range each account can edit. Make sure these accounts are in the "shows" permissions group. Pin the list in the shows hosts' Facebook group. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for committee members who need specific access, e.g. the Head of Programming needs to see the login report; the Head of Music needs to be able to edit a large cart range, and access the AutoFade presets/schedule; the Head of Production needs to be able to upload adverts and jingles, and schedule them. * Stay active in the show hosts' Facebook group; they will be relying on you to fix their tech problems all day, every day. * Keep the studio and equipment clean and tidy. * Make sure AutoFade is active whenever no show is on air. * Broadcast or record live events, especially live lounges. * Manage STAR's external recording equipment, including repairs, new equipment, loans to students, and training these students. * Manage STAR's licenses, including submitting quarterly PPL reports. * Work closely with the Head of Web and their assistant. Make a group chat with all of you, and the Station Manager. Your roles overlap a lot, and you should help each other with tasks wherever possible. This means you should have an active role in keeping the website up to date, and should know how to do many of the Head of Web's tasks if they are unavailable. For example, being able to delete podcasts from the [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html podcasts archive] if it reaches the storage limit (which could prevent listeners from accessing the main website). * You will often be the one left to deal with tedious things, such as * Split these tasks between yourself and your assistant. === Links === * Stats: [http://manage.standrewsradio.com/grafana manage.standrewsradio.com/grafana] * More stats: [http://manage.standrewsradio.com/icecast manage.standrewsradio.com/icecast] * Mountain of stats: [http://manage.standrewsradio.com/netdata manage.standrewsradio.com/netdata] * Admin console: [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com] * Wordpress: [https://standrewsradio.com/wp-admin standrewsradio.com] * Archive: [http://archive.standrewsradio.com archive.standrewsradio.com] * [http://listen.standrewsradio.com listen.], [http://buzzbox.standrewsradio.com buzzbox.], and [http://studio.standrewsradio.com studio.] subdomains * Server: [https://www.digitalocean.com digitalocean.com] * [https://drive.google.com drive.google.com] === Contacts === * Previous Head of Tech * Tom Groves, Head of Tech 2017-19: [mailto:tom.groves@standrewsradio.com tom.groves@standrewsradio.com] (procrastination wizard) * Kieran Wallbanks, Head of Web 2017-19: [mailto:kieran.wallbanks@standrewsradio.com kieran.wallbanks@standrewsradio.com] (archive wizard) * Ryo Yanagida, Director of Audio Engineering 2013-14: [mailto:ryo.yanagida@standrewsradio.com ryo.yanagida@standrewsradio.com] (everything wizard) * IT Services: [mailto:itservicedesk@st-andrews.ac.uk itservicedesk@st-andrews.ac.uk] * Bruce Turner, Union Building Supervisor: [mailto:det8@st-andrews.ac.uk det8@st-andrews.ac.uk] * Jillian Cowan, Union Management Accountant: [mailto:jc82@st-andrews.ac.uk jc82@st-andrews.ac.uk] * Broadcast Radio (Myriad): [mailto:hello@broadcastradio.com hello@broadcastradio.com] === Training checklist === This is an example of what to work through during tech training; it should be updated as appropriate. * Control room ** Basics of STAR **# Internet radio, standrewsradio.com **# Every show will have a page on the website **# Form for show bios/fb links going out soon ** Myriad Playout **# Carts **# Cart players **# Searching the database **# Jumping between carts **# Cart ranges **#* Show ranges **#* AutoFade range **#* Sound FX range **#* Imaging range ** Uploading songs and other audio files ** Ingest PC can't affect live broadcast * Studio ** Mixer **# Mic faders **# Myriad faders **# Faders determine what is being broadcast **# Column for each channel **# Trim (/gain) dials – most important for sound quality **# Pan (/balance) dials **# Speaker/headphone dials ** Myriad **# Playout PC sends live broadcast **# Standby/Live/AutoFade **#* At the end of your show, activate AutoFade and put all four Myriad faders up ** Buzzbox **# Help section * Programming ** Sign-in book ** Segments ** Arrive at least five minutes early ** Script your intro ** If you’re a talk show, bring 30 mins of music to your first show; music show, bring an hour of music ** Plan your show structure and discussion points in advance ** Someone from committee will sit in on your first show * Summary ** Retrieving podcasts, archive.standrewsradio.com ** Uploading podcasts to Mixcloud ** Passwords ** Show hosts' Facebook group ** Show guide ** Who to contact when (tech@, programming@, hello@) ** Drop-in Monday 5-6pm * Advanced training ** Aux fader/taking phone calls ** Shortcuts ** External USB controller ** Segue editor ** Creating pads ** Using FX pads ** Pre-fade buttons ** Auto pre-fade buttons/”column”s for monitoring ** Challenge: work out what “split pre-fade” and “talkback” do b83af5d353506cd7a37fa42d760120cc2982b2b8 0 26 565 536 2020-04-13T18:19:11Z Tom 2 /* Previous Heads of Design */ added 2020/21 member wikitext text/x-wiki The Head of Design is responsible for creating graphics and promotional material for STAR, including the Facebook page photo, cover photo, Instagram promotions, paid adverts, event posters, and station merchandise.

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created in an attempt to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay]], and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. Show photos were organised for the first time since [[2014/15]] (citation needed). A focus was put on live music, with numerous bands travelling from across Scotland to play at [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]], in addition to the usual student music in Rector's Cafe, Bell Pettigrew Museum, etc. The station's slogan changed from "Tune in to St Andrews" to "Listen responsibly", which was also used in [[2013/14]]. A list of [[Future ideas|future ideas]] was started, and general STAR updates were posted on [https://www.facebook.com/tomgroves4star STAR Broadcasting Officer 2019/20]. The last month of the committee was disrupted by the coronavirus lockdown, during which the Students' Association building closed, and the University told students to go home. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- !

Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Sounds of Sandy's == The [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]] series began in September 2019. The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. == T-shirt competition == Submissions were open over the winter break. Almost every design received was posted on [https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10162663033480315 Facebook]. One like counted as one vote. Voting was open for one week. The winner received £50 from STAR. === Results === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name !

Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created in an attempt to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay]], and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. Show photos were organised for the first time since [[2014/15]] (citation needed). A focus was put on live music, with numerous bands travelling from across Scotland to play at [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]], in addition to the usual student music in Rector's Cafe, Bell Pettigrew Museum, etc. The station's slogan changed from "Tune in to St Andrews" to "Listen responsibly", which was also used in [[2013/14]]. A list of [[Future ideas|future ideas]] was started, and general STAR updates were posted on [https://www.facebook.com/tomgroves4star STAR Broadcasting Officer 2019/20]. The last month of the committee was disrupted by the coronavirus lockdown, during which the Students' Association building closed, and the University told students to go home. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- !

Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Sounds of Sandy's == The [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]] series began in September 2019. The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. == T-shirt competition == Submissions were open over the winter break. Almost every design received was posted on [https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10162663033480315 Facebook]. One like counted as one vote.

This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. Whilst most of the events were very well-received by the student population, from the organisers' perspective, the event appeared to be cursed: bands would often drop out days before the event due to ill health, and more than one band had a falling out with Union security. {| class="wikitable" |- !

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam sent to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it.

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam sent to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it.

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam sent to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This includes updating the constitution with all committee positions you intend to have.<br /><br /> # When choosing your committee members, don't let other people influence your decision. The DoES and outgoing Station Manager sit in on the interviews, and will naturally form their own opinions about each candidate. They are meant to act as resources, and can help you talk through the pros and cons of certain choices. The outgoing Station Manager will know which reapplying committee members have worked hard, but in the end, it's important that you feel confident about your newly-elected committee.<br /><br /> # It might be tempting to give committee positions to your friends, but it's important to give people a position on the STAR committee based on their own merit, and how passionate they are about the job.<br /><br /> # When choosing a committee, take their previous involvement with STAR into consideration. Do they go to every event? Have they hosted two shows for the last year? Or have they appeared out of nowhere, claiming to listen to lots of shows?<br /><br /> # It can be difficult to become friends with committee members if you only see them once a week during committee meetings. You can’t force friendship, especially if you’re constantly assigning people arduous tasks, but it’s important to make sure your committee members know you value their hard work.<br /><br /> # Sadly, there isn’t always enough time in the academic year to fulfil every promise made in your manifesto, but don’t get discouraged! Try to focus your attention on projects you feel can be achieved and will directly benefit the student experience.<br /><br /> # You will inevitably hit a point in the semester when your committee loses momentum. Firstly, send out a quick questionnaire with questions like "how could meetings be improved", "how could the committee be more enjoyable", and "what do you think is STAR’s biggest weakness". Then organise quick meetings with the Deputy Station Manager and each committee member separately; this gives the committee a chance to chat properly with you about any concerns or stresses.<br /><br /> # If you are unfortunate and have a committee member who is lacking in commitment, misses meetings, or isn’t doing their job, you may need to reconsider their position. Firstly, don’t jump to any conclusions; they might be having a hard time at home, struggling with their studies, have family issues, or in an argument with their best friend, so don’t presume anything. Secondly, organise a one-to-one meeting with them, and give them the opportunity to explain why they aren’t 110%. They might then opt out of committee, but equally this may kick start them.<br /><br /> # Whenever you have issues, talk to the DoES. They're there to help you, and will have been through this with another subcommittee for sure!<br /><br /> # Have fun! This is your opportunity to be freakishly involved with any and all aspects of STAR. Take advantage of the fact that you can bring about real change and improve the student experience. Don't be afraid to test something new, and accept that you will run into a lot of challenges.<br /><br /> # Don't have too much fun! You have a degree to finish.<br /><br /> # Try to avoid deleting any old stuff, and make sure your committee is in the same mindset. This goes for things like old STAR Facebook posts which no longer link to a valid page, old show pages on the website, and old articles on The Record. They might seem insignificant, but having all of these minor parts together really helps to build a sense of progress and history. It also helps when working on the archive! === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members). '''It is essential that you check the necessary people have access to the correct accounts for the committee to function smoothly.''' {| class="wikitable" |- ! Account !

You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam sent to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This includes updating the constitution with all committee positions you intend to have.<br /><br /> # When choosing your committee members, don't let other people influence your decision. The DoES and outgoing Station Manager sit in on the interviews, and will naturally form their own opinions about each candidate. They are meant to act as resources, and can help you talk through the pros and cons of certain choices. The outgoing Station Manager will know which reapplying committee members have worked hard, but in the end, it's important that you feel confident about your newly-elected committee.<br /><br /> # It might be tempting to give committee positions to your friends, but it's important to give people a position on the STAR committee based on their own merit, and how passionate they are about the job.<br /><br /> # When choosing a committee, take their previous involvement with STAR into consideration. Do they go to every event? Have they hosted two shows for the last year? Or have they appeared out of nowhere, claiming to listen to lots of shows?<br /><br /> # It can be difficult to become friends with committee members if you only see them once a week during committee meetings. You can’t force friendship, especially if you’re constantly assigning people arduous tasks, but it’s important to make sure your committee members know you value their hard work.<br /><br /> # Sadly, there isn’t always enough time in the academic year to fulfil every promise made in your manifesto, but don’t get discouraged! Try to focus your attention on projects you feel can be achieved and will directly benefit the student experience.<br /><br /> # You will inevitably hit a point in the semester when your committee loses momentum. Firstly, send out a quick questionnaire with questions like "how could meetings be improved", "how could the committee be more enjoyable", and "what do you think is STAR’s biggest weakness". Then organise quick meetings with the Deputy Station Manager and each committee member separately; this gives the committee a chance to chat properly with you about any concerns or stresses.<br /><br /> # If you are unfortunate and have a committee member who is lacking in commitment, misses meetings, or isn’t doing their job, you may need to reconsider their position. Firstly, don’t jump to any conclusions; they might be having a hard time at home, struggling with their studies, have family issues, or in an argument with their best friend, so don’t presume anything. Secondly, organise a one-to-one meeting with them, and give them the opportunity to explain why they aren’t 110%. They might then opt out of committee, but equally this may kick start them.<br /><br /> # Whenever you have issues, talk to the DoES. They're there to help you, and will have been through this with another subcommittee for sure!<br /><br /> # Have fun! This is your opportunity to be freakishly involved with any and all aspects of STAR. Take advantage of the fact that you can bring about real change and improve the student experience. Don't be afraid to test something new, and accept that you will run into a lot of challenges.<br /><br /> # Don't have too much fun! You have a degree to finish.<br /><br /> # Try to avoid deleting any old stuff, and make sure your committee is in the same mindset. This goes for things like old STAR Facebook posts which no longer link to a valid page, old show pages on the website, and old articles on The Record. They might seem insignificant, but having all of these minor parts together really helps to build a sense of progress and history. It also helps when working on the archive! === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members). '''It is essential that you check the necessary people have access to the correct accounts for the committee to function smoothly.''' {| class="wikitable" |- ! Account !

The server allows shows to broadcast from home. == Getting Started == # [https://discord.gg/vfEH3dx Join the Discord server]. # Pick an available time slot from the [https://doodle.com/poll/bw3g6iygiahb3dnn#calendar Doodle poll]. Make sure you use your full Discord tag (for example, @Star#1234) as the name when filling out the poll so we know who you are. You can see this at the bottom left of the Discord window on a computer, or in the Profile tab on the mobile app. # In the <code>#registration</code> channel, tell us what you would like your show to be called and that you've picked a time on the Doodle poll. # Read the rest of this guide so you know how the system works. == Server Channels == A channel is like a chat room, and a server is a group of channels. Our text chat channels are: * <code>#info</code>: guidance and help. * <code>#just-chatting</code>: general chit chat. * <code>#help-me</code>: for technical help during your show. Mention <code>@Tech Team</code> in your message! * <code>#broadcasting-guide</code>: guidance for going live. * <code>#control-room</code>: chatting with co-presenters during your show, and controlling the music bot. Our voice channels are: * <code>#the-studio</code>: audio in this channel will go live on air. This is where the music bot plays music, and where you and your co-presenters should talk to broadcast. * <code>#off-air</code>: == Going Live == At the time of your show, one of your presenters (probably whoever posted in <code>#registration</code>) will be given access to the studio. You can't access any of the broadcast channels until your show time. Once you're in, send <code>!invite @co-presenter-username</code> into the control room chat to give your co-presenters access. To remove someone, use <code>!uninvite @co-presenter-username</code>. Be careful! If you kick yourself out and get locked out of the studio, there might not always be someone available to let you back in immediately. Commands to control the music bot and invite your co-presenters to the studio should all be sent in <code>#control-room</code>. Make sure you're connected to <code>#the-studio</code> voice channel. You can then listen to what's happening on STAR by "undeafening" yourself, and turn your mic on or off with the mute button. Every hour Gorilla Joe will enter the studio and play some music if nobody is present. If there's already music playing when you came in, or you arrived a bit late to the studio, these commands might help you out: * <code>_remove all</code>: This will remove every song that is currently playing from the queue. When the currently playing song has finished, no more songs will be played which is a good time for you to get on air! * <code>_nowplaying</code>: When you begin your show, you might want to let people know whatever song was just playing. If so, this command will show whatever song is currently playing and will also give you a link to the source of the song if you fancy sharing it. At your show's end time, you will all be automatically removed from the studio. === Controlling Music === The music is controlled by sending commands to the <code>#control-room</code> channel. Different commands take different parameters (bits of extra info) after them - the music bot will tell you what to add if you don't provide it first time. Some key commands are: * <code>_play</code>: Plays music in a voice channel * <code>_pause</code>: Pause or resume the music player. * <code>_stop</code>: Stop and clear the music player. * <code>_skip</code>: Skip the current music track. * <code>_remove</code>: Remove a song from the queue. * <code>_move</code>: Move the bot to another channel. * <code>_shuffle</code>: Shuffle the music queue. * <code>_nowplaying</code>: Shows what's currently playing. * <code>_queue</code>: Shows the music that's currently queued. * <code>_volume</code>: Set the volume of the music player. * <code>_jump</code>: Set the time marker of the music playback. * <code>_youtube</code>: Search and see YouTube results. * <code>_soundcloud</code>: Search and see SoundCloud results. You can see all music commands by sending <code>_help</code> to <code>#control-room</code>. a0ed9859501c0fbca28afac0b01a837ce78a5142 583 582 2020-04-18T14:10:42Z Andrew 4 Adding technical implementation details wikitext text/x-wiki To allow shows to continue during the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic Coronavirus pandemic], a Discord server has been set up.

Our voice channels are: * <code>#the-studio</code>: audio in this channel will go live on air. This is where the music bot plays music, and where you and your co-presenters should talk to broadcast. Voice channels are for audio only, and chat channels are for text messages only. So, to control access to <code>#the-studio</code> and to control the music bot, send your command messages into <code>#control-room</code>. Any non-command messages in <code>#control-room</code> are ignored by our bots, so you can also use this text channel to talk to your co-presenters during your show. == Going Live == At the time of your show, one of your presenters (probably whoever posted in <code>#registration</code>) will be given access to the studio. You can't access any of the broadcast channels until your show time. Once you're in, send <code>!invite @co-presenter-username</code> into the control room chat to give your co-presenters access. To remove someone, use <code>!uninvite @co-presenter-username</code>. Be careful! If you kick yourself out and get locked out of the studio, there might not always be someone available to let you back in immediately. Commands to control the music bot and invite your co-presenters to the studio should all be sent in <code>#control-room</code>. Make sure you're connected to <code>#the-studio</code> voice channel. You can then listen to what's happening on STAR by "undeafening" yourself, and turn your mic on or off with the mute button. Every hour Gorilla Joe will enter the studio and play some music if nobody is present. If there's already music playing when you came in, or you arrived a bit late to the studio, these commands might help you out: * <code>_remove all</code>: This will remove every song that is currently playing from the queue. When the currently playing song has finished, no more songs will be played which is a good time for you to get on air! * <code>_nowplaying</code>: When you begin your show, you might want to let people know whatever song was just playing. If so, this command will show whatever song is currently playing and will also give you a link to the source of the song if you fancy sharing it. At your show's end time, you will all be automatically removed from the studio. === Controlling Music === The music is controlled by sending commands to the <code>#control-room</code> channel. Different commands take different parameters (bits of extra info) after them - the music bot will tell you what to add if you don't provide it first time. All music commands start with <code>_</code>. Some key commands are: * <code>_play</code>: Plays music in a voice channel * <code>_pause</code>: Pause or resume the music player. * <code>_stop</code>: Stop and clear the music player. * <code>_skip</code>: Skip the current music track. * <code>_remove</code>: Remove a song from the queue. * <code>_move</code>: Move the bot to another channel. * <code>_shuffle</code>: Shuffle the music queue. * <code>_nowplaying</code>: Shows what's currently playing. * <code>_queue</code>: Shows the music that's currently queued. * <code>_volume</code>: Set the volume of the music player. * <code>_jump</code>: Set the time marker of the music playback. * <code>_youtube</code>: Search and see YouTube results. * <code>_soundcloud</code>: Search and see SoundCloud results. You can see all music commands by sending <code>_help</code> to <code>#control-room</code>, but be aware the list it sends back doesn’t include the leading underscore before each command. == Technical Implementation == ''This section is intended for STAR Tech Team's reference.''

It can be used to broadcast live lounges and other events. STAR requires two stream encoders, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, which restricts the number of suitable software. To do this via Discord, see [[Broadcasting via Discord]]. == macOS == * Download [https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14067/soundflower Soundflower] – this lets you pass audio within between applications, analogous to having an audio interface inside your laptop. ** [https://github.com/ExistentialAudio/BlackHole BlackHole] does a similar thing, but generally seems to be more up-to-date than Soundflower and works properly on macOS Catalina as of April 2020. * Download [https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/ladiocast LadioCast] via the App Store – this lets you broadcast via two separate Icecast streamers. ** Known issue: access to internal mic may be randomly revoked, and must be turned on again before Ladiocast will show input level. ** Ladiocast settings: *** Host: garfield.standrewsradio.com *** Port: 8080 *** Mount: **** Streamer 1: stream/1.mp3 **** Streamer 2: stream/1.ogg *** User: source *** Password: ask [[Head Technician]] *** Stream name: STAR *** Web URL: http://www.standrewsradio.com *** Match encoding settings to the streamer, i.e. MP3 or Ogg Vorbis.

Committee members can be added to groups to receive emails sent to the group. Emails cannot be sent from a group address. * Both users and groups may have aliases, e.g. bo@ redirects to manager@. * The invalid user account, *@, will catch any emails sent to non-existent addresses within our domain.

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples.

This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam sent to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

This includes updating the constitution with all committee positions you intend to have.<br /><br /> # When choosing your committee members, don't let other people influence your decision. The DoES and outgoing Station Manager sit in on the interviews, and will naturally form their own opinions about each candidate. They are meant to act as resources, and can help you talk through the pros and cons of certain choices. The outgoing Station Manager will know which reapplying committee members have worked hard, but in the end, it's important that you feel confident about your newly-elected committee.<br /><br /> # It might be tempting to give committee positions to your friends, but it's important to give people a position on the STAR committee based on their own merit, and how passionate they are about the job.<br /><br /> # When choosing a committee, take their previous involvement with STAR into consideration. Do they go to every event? Have they hosted two shows for the last year? Or have they appeared out of nowhere, claiming to listen to lots of shows?<br /><br /> # It can be difficult to become friends with committee members if you only see them once a week during committee meetings. You can’t force friendship, especially if you’re constantly assigning people arduous tasks, but it’s important to make sure your committee members know you value their hard work.<br /><br /> # Sadly, there isn’t always enough time in the academic year to fulfil every promise made in your manifesto, but don’t get discouraged! Try to focus your attention on projects you feel can be achieved and will directly benefit the student experience.<br /><br /> # You will inevitably hit a point in the semester when your committee loses momentum. Firstly, send out a quick questionnaire with questions like "how could meetings be improved", "how could the committee be more enjoyable", and "what do you think is STAR’s biggest weakness". Then organise quick meetings with the Deputy Station Manager and each committee member separately; this gives the committee a chance to chat properly with you about any concerns or stresses.<br /><br /> # If you are unfortunate and have a committee member who is lacking in commitment, misses meetings, or isn’t doing their job, you may need to reconsider their position. Firstly, don’t jump to any conclusions; they might be having a hard time at home, struggling with their studies, have family issues, or in an argument with their best friend, so don’t presume anything. Secondly, organise a one-to-one meeting with them, and give them the opportunity to explain why they aren’t 110%. They might then opt out of committee, but equally this may kick start them.<br /><br /> # Whenever you have issues, talk to the DoES. They're there to help you, and will have been through this with another subcommittee for sure!<br /><br /> # Have fun! This is your opportunity to be freakishly involved with any and all aspects of STAR. Take advantage of the fact that you can bring about real change and improve the student experience. Don't be afraid to test something new, and accept that you will run into a lot of challenges.<br /><br /> # Don't have too much fun! You have a degree to finish.<br /><br /> # Try to avoid deleting any old stuff, and make sure your committee is in the same mindset. This goes for things like old STAR Facebook posts which no longer link to a valid page, old show pages on the website, and old articles on The Record. They might seem insignificant, but having all of these minor parts together really helps to build a sense of progress and history. It also helps when working on the archive! === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members). '''It is essential that you check the necessary people have access to the correct accounts for the committee to function smoothly.''' {| class="wikitable" |- ! Account !

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation.

Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section). Finally, if you want to make any changes to STAR, the Union, or even the whole town, this is the time to do it. Again, email the SA chair and they will be able to help you write a paper to get any changes made! === Useful contacts === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! Position ! Contact info !

They might seem insignificant, but having all of these minor parts together really helps to build a sense of progress and history. It also helps when working on the archive! === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members).

''Adapted from 2018 handover document, written by Flora Rowe.'' === Intro === Firstly, congratulations! Welcome to one of the most stressful, time-consuming, rewarding, exciting, and unpredictable adventures of your university career. You are the new SSC Broadcasting Officer, more commonly known as the Station Manager of STAR: St Andrews Radio. As head of the Broadcasting Society, you are tasked with running STAR, starTV, The Record, and Hearing Aid. This position requires a lot of dedication and multitasking. To put it simply, you are now a manager: your job is to manage people, and make sure they do the tasks you assign them. Whereas many people on your committee will be responsible for one aspect within STAR, you are required to pay close attention to each element, in order to ensure that everyone on your committee is working hard. For instance, you must work closely with the events team to make sure STAR is putting on plenty of events each semester. You must work with your Head of Design and Head of Marketing to ensure a constant STAR presence throughout the student body and in different buildings throughout the university. You must work with the Hearing Aid Editors to ensure the magazine doesn’t go over budget. You must work with the Head of News to try and get more writers, have regularly published articles, etc. As a result, communication between committee members is essential. You need to ensure that your team members constantly keep you updated on what they’re doing. If people do not tell you what they are doing or how projects are progressing, you may start to think they aren’t doing any work whatsoever. Communication is particularly important during deadline season; you don’t want to have constantly hassle committee members about tasks when they haven’t even had time to start brainstorming. It’s important to show your committee that you understand they probably have a lot of commitments throughout the academic year, and that it’s difficult to juggle everything at once. However, they are pivotal members of a subcommittee whose main purpose is to provide a unique extracurricular activity for students, and this cannot be achieved without their hard work. Some of your other main responsibilities are to chair committee meetings, create a budget, and provide all matriculated students with the opportunity to learn more about radio. The committee's momentum and progress will be proportional to your own motivation. === First Tasks === When you first get voted in, you will be overwhelmed. Hit the ground running, be proactive, and everything will be fine; I promise. # Read the [[Constitution|constitution]] #* This should be chapter 24 of the "Laws" document available [https://www.yourunion.net/union/policiesandprocedures/constitutionandlaws here], though this source is slow to update changes. #* This should explain many of the Union's complicated rules.<br /><br /> # Search for your committee #* As soon as you are voted in, you will need to start looking for your committee. #* The constitution should have a list of positions, and rules about the interview process. #* Most importantly, the application form should be advertised for at least two weeks, and the following people should be present at interviews: incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of incoming/outgoing DoES. #* Try to leave applications for assistant positions until September #* Make a Google form with questions such as "what experience do you have", "why do you want to be a part of STAR", etc. Ask the previous Station Manager to share previous forms as examples. #* In the form, use "jump to section" to show questions based on answers. Then you can have a section to ask the Head of Design/Video/Production for examples of their past work, or ask the Head of Music to make a playlist, etc. #* Ask the Union to help share the form on their social media, and in the sabbs' weekly email.<br /><br /> # Committee interviews #* After you have applications in, organise interview times. I would recommend 10 minutes per person, and tell them when to be there (rather than a sign-up system). #* The incoming Station Manager, outgoing Station Manager, and one of the incoming/outgoing DoES or DoSDA must be present at interviews, to ensure they are democratic and fair. #* Choose your committee! Send successful emails first, incase someone turns down the offer. Send rejection emails once all positions are confirmed. #* People often apply for position X when they're clearly more suited to position Y; don't be afraid to talk to them about this!<br /><br /> # Committee handovers #* Organise a meet-up between new and old committee members. This could be as part of a group meeting, or just in pairs.<br /><br /> # Have your first committee meeting #* Establish what each committee member aims to achieve in the coming year. #* Let everyone know your own priorities from your manifesto, and what you aim to achieve. #* Start discussing the budget for next year.<br /><br /> # Organise the STAR Awards #* Book a venue, advertise, release nominations, find prizes, advertise more, and have fun.<br /><br /> # Spend a committee meeting getting ready for summer. What do you want to be done before September?<br /><br /> # Organise committee photos. #* Post a group picture. #* Save individual photos for promoting show applications in September.<br /><br /> # Check everyone has access to everything they need #* See detailed table below ("Account Access"). #* Head of Web and Head Technician can help with this, especially making STAR email addresses for everyone.<br /><br /> # Update the committee on the website [http://standrewsradio.com/team team page]. #* Ask everyone to write a short blurb. #* Head of Web can update the page for you.<br /><br /> # Over summer, organise the budget. #* Based on what your committee has planned for the upcoming year, get the Head of Finance to create a spreadsheet. #* Ask outgoing Station Manager to share previous budgets as examples. The total amount of funding from the Union is unlikely to change much. #* Make sure you send the budget to the sabbs before their deadline, usually around the end of May. #* Ask the Head of Finance to set up an expenditure spreadsheet, to make sure you stick to the budget throughout the year.<br /><br /> # Apply for a Freshers' Fayre table, and get merchandise ready #* Merchandise can take a long time to design and produce, so make sure you start this well before September. #* [https://www.awesomemerchandise.com Awesome Merchandise] and [https://www.usbmakers.com usbmakers.com] are great places to look.<br /><br /> # Plan events for September #* Usual examples: give-it-a-go, drinks night. #* Book spaces before deadlines (subcommittees should get priority over societies!) #* Request free drinks, etc. well in advance. #* The DoES and DoSDA are the ones to ask about booking spaces, and event planning in general.<br /><br /> # Book a room for committee meetings next year #* We usually go for the "Committee Meeting Room", 6-7pm Mondays, from September to May. #* Make sure you do this before the '''subcommittee''' deadline, as we should get an extra week before societies can book rooms.<br /><br /> # Info Night #* Organise for the Monday of week 1 (the day after Freshers' Fayre) #* Book a space (e.g. Sandy's) #* Make a presentation. Include how to get involved with The Record, Hearing Aid, starTV, Outside Broadcast team, event photography, and poster design. Focus on how to apply for a radio show, what hosting a show involves, and the structure of a typical show.<br /><br /> # After Freshers' Week #* The programming team will need a lot of help with show applications and demos. Together with Tech Training, this will be the main focus for the first couple of weeks. #* Get into a routine! Make sure design/marketing/tech/events/music teams are communicating seamlessly about events, and the programming team is checking show attendance. === What is Councils? === This is probably wrong, but it's the best I've come up with in four years. * The Broadcasting Officer sits on the Student Services Council (SSC), along with people like the Mermaids President and Union Debating Society President. * There's also the Student Representative Council (SRC), with people like the Member for First Years and Member for Racial Equality. * Above SSC and SRC is the "Association" – people like the Alumni Officer and LGBT+ Officer. * Above the Association is the sabbatical officers (sabbs) – people like the Director of Events and Services (DoES) and the Association President (Big Pres). * The SSC, SRC, Association, and sabbs together form "Joint Councils". * Everyone on Joint Councils is elected in March (apart from the Ents, Design Team, and Arts Festival Convenors). * The Broadcasting Officer has to go to meetings for SSC and Joint Councils. This will take up most of your Tuesday evenings. * More info on Councils positions [https://www.yourunion.net/voice/elections/positions here]. === What is the Union? === The Union is the building and its staff (bartenders, cleaners, porters, receptionists, etc.) and exists to provide services like meeting rooms and pablos. The Students' Association is all of the elected students ("Councils"), and works to improve the experience of all students at the University of St Andrews. It is a [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/charity-details?number=19883 registered charity] in Scotland, and works to represent the views of St Andrews students to the University and beyond. It is based within the Union building. The University is a separate body (and another registered charity), but works closely with the Union. The Union receives most of its income from pablos, and the University. As a ''subcommittee'' of the Union, STAR receives its funding from the Union, and can book spaces within the Union for free. ''Societies'' can also do this, but receive most of their funding from membership fees. All St Andrews students are automatically members of all subcommittees. === An average week as Broadcasting Officer === It’s difficult to describe what an average week is like as Broadcasting Officer. Even if you’re not working on a specific STAR-related task, you’ll probably find yourself constantly thinking about STAR. This is pretty common, especially at the start of your term, as it can be quite difficult trying to balance coursework with your SSC responsibilities. Councils: most weeks you will have either an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, a weekly STAR committee meeting, check-ins with the DoES about potential STAR events, going to see Jillian Cowan (Management Accountant) in the Cash Office to sign invoices, and a meeting with the Deputy Station Manager to discuss how STAR is doing and future plans for the Broadcasting Society. Committee: I would recommend making meetings compulsory for the most important positions, and optional (but encouraged) for assistants. It may also help to send an agenda to committee@ the day before each meeting, incase anyone wants to add anything. Having a task sheet is also helpful, as everyone can see what they need to be working on before the next meeting. Update this task sheet after each meeting, and check on everyone's progress a few days before the next meeting. Social media: you will receive hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. Generally they are small queries or musicians asking random questions, but keep on top of these or they will quickly build up. Having a Music Team to deal with spam sent to music@ helps. It can also help to assign messages to STAR's Facebook page to the Head of Programming/Events/Tech/Music where relevant. If someone gets in touch about an event idea, society collaboration, performing at a STAR event, or query about hosting a show, try to always be positive, reply promptly, and in detail. === What to expect from Councils meetings === The week before an SSC or Joint Councils meeting, the Association Chair will request a report from you. This report should summarise what your committee has been doing, and what is being planned for the next few weeks. The Chair will then send out an agenda two days before the meeting, containing everyone's reports. You can reply with amendments if necessary. If you do not submit a report in time, it counts as half an absence. Whilst this might not seem like much, it can quickly add up, to the point where you could potentially be removed from your position. Meetings begin with the Association Chair proposing to adopt the meeting’s agenda; at this time, you can propose to amend the agenda – either a change the order in which things are debated or discussed, or even to add something to the General Business section of the agenda. The Chair then passes the adoption of the agenda, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting, assuming there are no objections. All Councils meetings are open to the entire student body, and students can raise any issues or concerns during the Open Forum section of the agenda. It's not uncommon to have a large group of students sit in the meeting for this section and give short speeches, if an important motion is being discussed. Following this, the Sabbatical Officers give their reports, and then all elected officers are given the opportunity to add to their previously submitted reports, and answer questions. After General Business, the meetings usually end with Collaborative Solutions. At this time, any non-councillors (including student journalists) must leave the meeting. Collaborative Solutions provides officers with the chance to tackle issues together, and get advice from the other subcommittee heads. Issues that have been raised during Collaborative Solutions include: how to get your committee members to be more passionate about different projects, the best ways to publicise an important event to the student body, how to deal with conflict either within your committee or with other matriculated students, and how to successfully collaborate with other student societies. Another member of Councils may ask you to second their motion. If so, read through their motion, and suggest adjustments/corrections. If you agree with their idea, tell them to list you as a seconder. Past examples of motions are [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/ssc/sscpolicies here]. You can submit your own motion, e.g. to update the Broadcasting Society's constitution, following the format of these examples. You will need two people on Councils to second your motion before it is accepted onto the agenda. As part of the SSC you can run to be SSC Senior Officer, SSC Secondary Nominee to SAEC, SSC Tertiary Nominee to SAEC, a member of the Association Discipline Committee, and a member of the Societies Committee. Towards the end of your term, you can also run to be on the Elections Committee. These are all great opportunities to get more involved with the Union. If you have any questions, the best person to ask is the Association Chair, or a current sabb (see Useful contacts section).

It also helps when working on the archive! === Account Access === It is the Station Manager's responsibility to ensure everyone on committee is able to do their tasks. This means checking people have access to the right accounts, with suggested access as below. The most important site for the Station Manager is [https://admin.google.com admin.google.com]. From here, you can control login information for all STAR email addresses and accounts. You can also access accounts such as invaliduser@, which catches all emails sent to addresses that don't exist (such as very old committee members).

The server allows shows to broadcast from home. == Getting Started == # [https://discord.gg/vfEH3dx Join the Discord server]. # Pick an available time slot from the [https://doodle.com/poll/bw3g6iygiahb3dnn#calendar Doodle poll]. Make sure you use your full Discord tag (for example, @Star#1234) as the name when filling out the poll so we know who you are. You can see this at the bottom left of the Discord window on a computer, or in the Profile tab on the mobile app. # In the <code>#registration</code> channel, tell us what you would like your show to be called and that you've picked a time on the Doodle poll. # Read the rest of this guide so you know how the system works. == Server Channels == A channel is like a chat room, and a server is a group of channels. Our text chat channels are: * <code>#info</code>: guidance and help. * <code>#just-chatting</code>: general chit chat. * <code>#help-me</code>: for technical help during your show. Mention <code>@Tech Team</code> in your message! * <code>#broadcasting-guide</code>: guidance for going live. * <code>#control-room</code>: chatting with co-presenters during your show, and controlling the music bot. Our voice channels are: * <code>#the-studio</code>: audio in this channel will go live on air. This is where the music bot plays music, and where you and your co-presenters should talk to broadcast. Voice channels are for audio only, and chat channels are for text messages only. So, to control access to <code>#the-studio</code> and to control the music bot, send your command messages into <code>#control-room</code>. Any non-command messages in <code>#control-room</code> are ignored by our bots, so you can also use this text channel to talk to your co-presenters during your show. == Going Live == At the time of your show, one of your presenters (probably whoever posted in <code>#registration</code>) will be given access to the studio. You can't access any of the broadcast channels until your show time. Once you're in, send <code>!invite @co-presenter-username</code> into <code>#control-room</code> to give your co-presenters access. To remove someone, use <code>!uninvite @co-presenter-username</code>. Be careful! If you kick yourself out and get locked out of the studio, there might not always be someone available to let you back in immediately. Commands to control the music bot and invite your co-presenters to the studio should all be sent in <code>#control-room</code>. Make sure you're connected to <code>#the-studio</code> voice channel. You can then listen to what's happening on STAR by "undeafening" yourself, and turn your mic on or off with the mute button. Every hour Gorilla Joe will enter the studio and play some music if nobody is present. If there's already music playing when you came in, or you arrived a bit late to the studio, these commands might help you out: * <code>_remove all</code>: This will remove every song that is currently playing from the queue. When the currently playing song has finished, no more songs will be played which is a good time for you to get on air! * <code>_nowplaying</code>: When you begin your show, you might want to let people know whatever song was just playing. If so, this command will show whatever song is currently playing and will also give you a link to the source of the song if you fancy sharing it. At your show's end time, you will all be automatically removed from the studio. === Controlling Music === The music is controlled by sending commands to the <code>#control-room</code> channel. Different commands take different parameters (bits of extra info) after them - the music bot will tell you what to add if you don't provide it first time. All music commands start with <code>_</code>. Some key commands are: * <code>_play</code>: Plays the music player. * <code>_play <YouTube link></code> (without angle brackets): Queues the specified YouTube link for playout. * <code>_pause</code>: Pause or resume the music player. * <code>_stop</code>: Stop and clear the music player. * <code>_skip</code>: Skip the current music track. * <code>_remove</code>: Remove a song from the queue. * <code>_shuffle</code>: Shuffle the music queue. * <code>_nowplaying</code>: Shows what's currently playing. * <code>_queue</code>: Shows the music that's currently queued. * <code>_volume</code>: Set the volume of the music player. * <code>_youtube</code>: Search and see YouTube results. * <code>_soundcloud</code>: Search and see SoundCloud results. You can see all music commands by sending <code>_help</code> to <code>#control-room</code>, but be aware the list it sends back doesn’t include the leading underscore before each command. == Get Help == If you need help, message the <code>#help-me</code> channel in Discord and mention <code>@Tech Team</code> to send a notification to the tech team. You can also email [mailto:tech@standrewsradio.com?subject=Discord%20Broadcasting%20Help tech@standrewsradio.com]. == Technical Implementation == ''This section is intended for STAR Tech Team's reference.''

Mention <code>@Tech Team</code> in your message! * <code>#broadcasting-guide</code>: guidance for going live. * <code>#control-room</code>: chatting with co-presenters during your show, and controlling the music bot. Our voice channels are: * <code>#the-studio</code>: audio in this channel will go live on air. This is where the music bot plays music, and where you and your co-presenters should talk to broadcast. Voice channels are for audio only, and chat channels are for text messages only. So, to control access to <code>#the-studio</code> and to control the music bot, send your command messages into <code>#control-room</code>. Any non-command messages in <code>#control-room</code> are ignored by our bots, so you can also use this text channel to talk to your co-presenters during your show. == Going Live == At the time of your show, one of your presenters (probably whoever posted in <code>#registration</code>) will be given access to the studio. You can't access any of the broadcast channels until your show time. Once you're in, send <code>!invite @co-presenter-username</code> into <code>#control-room</code> to give your co-presenters access. To remove someone, use <code>!uninvite @co-presenter-username</code>. Be careful! If you kick yourself out and get locked out of the studio, there might not always be someone available to let you back in immediately. Commands to control the music bot and invite your co-presenters to the studio should all be sent in <code>#control-room</code>. Make sure you're connected to <code>#the-studio</code> voice channel. You can then listen to what's happening on STAR by "undeafening" yourself, and turn your mic on or off with the mute button. Every hour Gorilla Joe will enter the studio and play some music if nobody is present. If there's already music playing when you came in, or you arrived a bit late to the studio, these commands might help you out: * <code>_remove all</code>: This will remove every song that is currently playing from the queue. When the currently playing song has finished, no more songs will be played which is a good time for you to get on air! * <code>_nowplaying</code>: When you begin your show, you might want to let people know whatever song was just playing. If so, this command will show whatever song is currently playing and will also give you a link to the source of the song if you fancy sharing it. At your show's end time, you will all be automatically removed from the studio. === Controlling Music === The music is controlled by sending commands to the <code>#control-room</code> channel. Different commands take different parameters (bits of extra info) after them - the music bot will tell you what to add if you don't provide it first time. All music commands start with <code>_</code>. Some key commands are: * <code>_play</code>: Plays the music player. * <code>_play <YouTube link></code> (without angle brackets): Queues the specified YouTube link for playout. * <code>_pause</code>: Pause or resume the music player. * <code>_stop</code>: Stop and clear the music player. * <code>_skip</code>: Skip the current music track. * <code>_remove</code>: Remove a song from the queue. * <code>_shuffle</code>: Shuffle the music queue. * <code>_nowplaying</code>: Shows what's currently playing. * <code>_queue</code>: Shows the music that's currently queued. * <code>_volume</code>: Set the volume of the music player. * <code>_youtube</code>: Search and see YouTube results. * <code>_soundcloud</code>: Search and see SoundCloud results. You can see all music commands by sending <code>_help</code> to <code>#control-room</code>, but be aware the list it sends back doesn’t include the leading underscore before each command. == Get Help == If you need help, message the <code>#help-me</code> channel in Discord and mention <code>@Tech Team</code> to send a notification to the tech team.

'''Note about the video:''' You don't need to ask in <code>#registration</code> for someone to register your show - that'll be done automatically after your practice slot. You do still need to verify yourself with <code>!verify</code>, though. == Getting Started == # [https://discord.gg/vfEH3dx Join the Discord server]. # Verify yourself with our Discord system. Only current show hosts can have shows on our remote broadcasting system. In order to verify youself, use the command <code>!verify &lt;email address&gt;</code>, where <code>&lt;email address&gt;</code> (without angle brackets) is the email address you signed up with when you applied to be a show host. Normally, this is your University email address. Send the command in a [https://discord.com/channels/@me/706821087815794739 private message to the Gorilla Joe bot] (<code>Starbot Admin#9915</code>) - look for the list of server members to find the bot. Then, follow the instructions you receive back. # Read the rest of this guide so you know how the system works. == Server Channels == A channel is like a chat room, and a server is a group of channels. Our text chat channels are: * <code>#info</code>: guidance and help. * <code>#just-chatting</code>: general chit chat. * <code>#help-me</code>: for technical help during your show. Mention <code>@Tech Team</code> in your message! * <code>#broadcasting-guide</code>: guidance for going live. * <code>#control-room</code>: chatting with co-presenters during your show, and controlling the music bot. Our voice channels are: * <code>#the-studio</code>: audio in this channel will go live on air. This is where the music bot plays music, and where you and your co-presenters should talk to broadcast. Voice channels are for audio only, and chat channels are for text messages only. So, to control access to <code>#the-studio</code> and to control the music bot, send your command messages into <code>#control-room</code>. Any non-command messages in <code>#control-room</code> are ignored by our bots, so you can also use this text channel to talk to your co-presenters during your show. == Going Live == At the time of your show, you and your co-hosts will automatically be given access to the studio. You can't access any of the broadcast channels until your show time. To get started on air: # Connect to <code>#the-studio</code> voice channel. # Open the <code>#control-room</code> text channel. Commands to control the music bot should all be sent in <code>#control-room</code>. You can also message your co-hosts there. Everything in <code>#the-studio</code> is sent to broadcast, including your mic and music. You can use the mute button to turn off your microphone if you don't want your voice going to air (for example, during a song). Every hour, Gorilla Joe will enter the studio and play some music if nobody is present. If there's already music playing when you came in, or you arrived a bit late to the studio, these commands might help you out: * <code>_remove all</code>: This will remove every song from the music queue. When the currently playing song has finished, no more songs will be played, which is a good time for you to get on air! * <code>_nowplaying</code>: When you begin your show, you might want to let people know whatever song was just playing. If so, this command will show whatever song is currently playing. At your show's end time, you will all be automatically removed from the studio. === Controlling Music === The music is controlled by sending commands to the <code>#control-room</code> channel. Different commands take different parameters (bits of extra info) after them - the music bot will tell you what to add if you don't provide it first time. All music commands start with <code>_</code>. Some key commands are: * <code>_play</code>: Plays the music player. * <code>_play <YouTube link></code> (without angle brackets): Queues the specified YouTube link for playout. * <code>_play <search term></code> (without angle brackets): Searches YouTube for the specified term, then queues the first result. * <code>_pause</code>: Pause or resume the music player. * <code>_stop</code>: Stop the music player. * <code>_skip</code>: Skip the current track in the queue and start playing what's next. * <code>_remove</code>: Remove a song from the queue. * <code>_shuffle</code>: Shuffle the queue. * <code>_nowplaying</code>: Shows what's currently playing. * <code>_queue</code>: Shows the music that's currently queued. You can see all music commands by sending <code>_help</code> to <code>#control-room</code>, but be aware the list it sends back doesn’t include the leading underscore before each command. === Other Commands === * <code>!listeners</code>: This will let you know how many people are currently tuned in to STAR. * <code>!invite</code> and <code>!uninvite</code>: If you have a guest on your show, you can ask them to join the Discord server using the link above, then you can use the command <code>!invite @guest-username</code> to give them access to the studio. Your guests don't need to go through the <code>!verify</code> process. To remove someone, use <code>!uninvite @guest-username</code>. Be careful - if you accidentally uninvite yourself and get locked out of the studio, there might not someone available to let you back in. * <code>!addhost</code> and <code>!removehost</code>: If you have a new co-host, you can use <code>!addhost @host-username</code> to automatically give them access to the studio during your show each week. To stop granting someone access, use <code>!removehost @host-username</code>. If you've got a guest who only needs access once, use <code>!invite</code> (above) instead. Again, be careful not to remove yourself by accident and get locked out of the studio! == Get Help == If you need help, message the <code>#help-me</code> channel in Discord and mention <code>@Tech Team</code> to send a notification to the tech team.

All music commands start with <code>_</code>. Some key commands are: * <code>_play</code>: Play the music player if it's paused. * <code>_play <YouTube link></code> (without angle brackets): Queue the specified YouTube link for playout. If the player is stopped, the song will start playing immediately. If the player is paused, the song will be queued. * <code>_play <search term></code> (without angle brackets): Search YouTube for the specified term, then queue the first result. If the player is stopped, the song will start playing immediately. If the player is paused, the song will be queued. * <code>_forceskip</code>: Skip the current track in the queue and start playing what's next.

This wiki page is likely the definitive guide, though.

You do still need to verify yourself with <code>!verify</code>, though. * We've had to change our music bot so some of the commands have changed - don't worry, we'll go through everything during training and the <code>#broadcasting-guide</code> channel and this wiki have been updated with the commands for the new music bot. == The Basics == A Discord server is a group of channels, where each channel is like a chat room. Think of Microsoft Teams, but each team is a server. Channels can be for text chat, or voice chat. We use both - you can read information, talk to other people, and control the music by sending messages in text channels. To speak on air or hear what's going on, you connect to a voice channel. '''STAR listeners should not join the Discord server.''' Your listeners can listen on [https://standrewsradio.com standrewsradio.com] as usual. === Starting the Semester === At the start of the semester, shows will receive an email about training. Follow the instructions in that email to '''book a practice slot'''. '''Before your practice slot:''' # [https://sta.radio/discord '''Join''' the Discord server]. # Lead host only: '''Verify yourself''' with our system. Find our bot, Gorilla Joe (or Starbot Admin), in the list of server members.

Follow the instructions Gorilla Joe sends back. # '''Read the rest of this guide''' so you know how the system works. === Going Live === At the start of your show's slot, you'll be given access to the studio.

You can also send messages to chat to your co-hosts - our bots will just ignore anything that doesn't look like a command. # '''Join the voice channel <code>#the-studio</code>'''. Now, you'll be able to hear everything going out on air. You can '''use the mute button to turn your mic on and off''' - for example, you should probably turn it off during songs. The mute button is usually in the bottom left of the screen, next to your username. When your mic is on, your voice will be broadcast on STAR. # In <code>#control-room</code>, send the command '''<code>_clear</code> to get rid of the automatically-scheduled music'''.

'''This part is not essential reading''', but you might find it useful. Everything you need to know to run your show is written above. === Controlling Music === The music is controlled by sending commands to the <code>#control-room</code> channel. Different commands take different parameters (bits of extra info) after them - the music bot will tell you what to add if you don't provide it first time. All music commands start with <code>_</code>. Some key commands are: * <code>_play</code>: Play the music player if it's paused. * <code>_play <YouTube link></code> (without angle brackets): Queue the specified YouTube link for playout. If the player is stopped, the song will start playing immediately. If the player is paused, the song will be queued. * <code>_play <search term></code> (without angle brackets): Search YouTube for the specified term, then queue the first result. If the player is stopped, the song will start playing immediately. If the player is paused, the song will be queued. * <code>_forceskip</code>: Skip the current track in the queue and start playing what's next. If there's nothing queued, the player will stop. * <code>_pause</code>: Pause or resume the music player. * <code>_leave</code>: Stops the music player completely and clears the queue. * <code>_queue</code>: Show the music that's currently queued. * <code>_remove</code>: Remove a song from the queue. * <code>_shuffle</code>: Shuffle the queue. * <code>_nowplaying</code>: Show what's currently playing. You can see all music commands by heading to [https://rythmbot.co/features#list Rythm's help page] or by sending <code>_help</code> to <code>#control-room</code>. === Listener Counts === <code>!listeners</code> will let you know how many people are currently tuned in to STAR. === Guests === If you have a guest on your show, ask them to join the Discord server using the link [https://sta.radio/discord https://sta.radio/discord]. Your guests don't need to go through the <code>!verify</code> process - just ask them to let you know their Discord username. During your show, you can use the command <code>!invite @guest-username</code> in <code>#control-room</code> to give them access to the studio. To remove someone from the studio, use <code>!uninvite @guest-username</code>. Be careful - if you accidentally uninvite yourself and get locked out of the studio, there might not someone available to let you back in. Listeners shouldn't be invited to the studio. They can listen on [https://standrewsradio.com standrewsradio.com] as normal. === New Co-Hosts === If you have a new co-host, you can use <code>!addhost <show day> <show time> @host-username</code> to automatically give them access to the studio during your show each week - for example, <code>!addhost Friday 5PM @Gorilla Joe</code>. To stop granting someone access, use <code>!removehost <show day> <show time> @host-username</code>.

Then, you can either '''wait until the currently-playing song finishes to start your show'''. # You can then '''unmute your mic to talk on air''', or '''play some music using <code>_play &lt;something&gt;</code>''' (without angle brackets), where <code>something</code> is a search term for a song you'd like to play or a YouTube link - for example, <code>_play Hello Lionel Richie</code> or <code>_play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ</code>. If you need to end a song mid-way through, use <code>_forceskip</code>. At the '''end of your show''' disconnect from <code>#the-studio</code> using the Disconnect button (phone with a cross icon), next to the phrase "Voice Connected". == Get Help == If you need help, message the <code>#help-me</code> channel in Discord and mention <code>@Tech Team</code> to send a notification to the tech team. You can also email [mailto:tech@standrewsradio.com?subject=Discord%20Broadcasting%20Help tech@standrewsradio.com]. == More Detail == If you'd like to get into the nitty-gritty, here's even more detail and commands you can use. '''This part is not essential reading''', but you might find it useful. Everything you need to know to run your show is written above. === Controlling Music === The music is controlled by sending commands to the <code>#control-room</code> channel. Different commands take different parameters (bits of extra info) after them - the music bot will tell you what to add if you don't provide it first time. All music commands start with <code>_</code>. Some key commands are: * <code>_play <YouTube link></code> (without angle brackets): Queue the specified YouTube link for playout. If the player is stopped, the song will start playing immediately. If the player is paused, the song will be queued. * <code>_play <search term></code> (without angle brackets): Search YouTube for the specified term, then queue the first result. If the player is stopped, the song will start playing immediately. If the player is paused, the song will be queued. * <code>_forceskip</code>: Skip the current track in the queue and start playing what's next. If there's nothing queued, the player will stop. * <code>_pause</code>: Pause the music player. * <code>_resume</code>: Resume the music player. * <code>_leave</code>: Stops the music player completely and clears the queue. * <code>_queue</code>: Show the music that's currently queued. * <code>_remove</code>: Remove a song from the queue. * <code>_shuffle</code>: Shuffle the queue. * <code>_nowplaying</code>: Show what's currently playing. You can see all music commands by heading to [https://rythmbot.co/features#list Rythm's help page] or by sending <code>_help</code> to <code>#control-room</code>. === Listener Counts === <code>!listeners</code> will let you know how many people are currently tuned in to STAR. === Guests === If you have a guest on your show, ask them to join the Discord server using the link [https://sta.radio/discord https://sta.radio/discord]. Your guests don't need to go through the <code>!verify</code> process - just ask them to let you know their Discord username. During your show, you can use the command <code>!invite @guest-username</code> in <code>#control-room</code> to give them access to the studio. To remove someone from the studio, use <code>!uninvite @guest-username</code>. Be careful - if you accidentally uninvite yourself and get locked out of the studio, there might not someone available to let you back in. Listeners shouldn't be invited to the studio. They can listen on [https://standrewsradio.com standrewsradio.com] as normal. === New Co-Hosts === If you have a new co-host on your show, ask them to join the Discord server using the link [https://sta.radio/discord https://sta.radio/discord]. You can then use <code>!addhost <show day> <show time> @host-username</code> to automatically give them access to the studio during your show each week - for example, <code>!addhost Friday 5PM @Gorilla Joe</code>. You can send this command into <code>#registration</code> at any time. To stop granting someone access, use <code>!removehost <show day> <show time> @host-username</code>. If you've got guests (who only need access once, or only while you're there), invite them as [[#Guests]] instead. Again, be careful not to remove yourself by accident and get locked out of the studio! === Server Channels === For archival purposes, our text chat channels are: * <code>#info</code>: guidance and help. * <code>#just-chatting</code>: general chit-chat. * <code>#help-me</code>: for technical help during your show. Mention <code>@Tech Team</code> in your message! * <code>#broadcasting-guide</code>: guidance for going live. * <code>#control-room</code>: chatting with co-presenters during your show, and controlling the music bot. Our voice channels are: * <code>#the-studio</code>: audio in this channel will go live on air. This is where the music bot plays music, and where you and your co-presenters should talk to broadcast. == Technical Implementation == ''This section is intended for STAR Tech Team's reference.'' The Discord server is powered by: * [https://github.com/StAndrewsRadio/starbot-admin starbot-admin], a custom-developed bot for managing the station in Discord. * [https://github.com/StAndrewsRadio/starbot-forwarder starbot-forwarder], a custom-developed bot to send a Discord voice channel to our streaming server. * [https://rythmbot.co/ Rythm], for music. * [https://carl.gg Carl], for announcements, logging, etc. === Autoplay === Every hour, Gorilla Joe will enter the studio and play some music if nobody is present. Autoplay can be forced to start using <code>!autoplay</code>. === More commands === Starbot Admin provides more commands you can use. Send <code>!help</code> to any channel to see the list. It's probably best to do that in a testing channel. 387c564afb4482cf80a25520ff35d12f3e58fa3d 0 75 611 343 2020-08-07T17:03:26Z Tom 2 wikitext text/x-wiki The STAR logo has had three distinct designs, each of which had minor alterations over time. Most versions are set as the profile picture on [https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10150260013950315 STAR's Facebook page]. [[File:First STAR logo.jpg|thumb|2005 logo]] = 2005-2009 = The first logo featured the word "star", with the letter "a" replaced by a radio tower. The colour scheme was black and red (hex code #CC0202). [[File:Second STAR logo.jpg|thumb|left|2009 logo]] = 2009-2012 = The second logo again featured the word "star", this time with the a-hole coloured, using a slightly lighter red (hex code #FF1800). [[File:Third STAR logo.jpg|thumb|2012 logo]] = 2012-present = The third logo featured [[Gorilla Joe]], and was created by Toby Marsh in 2012. The design won STAR's t-shirt design competition that year. The font on the earphone changed to Fugaz One around [[2017/18|2017/18]] The [[2019/20]] variant of the third logo follows the change in colour scheme to yellow (hex code #FEDE59), black, and white. [[File:STAR full logo December 2019.png|thumb|left|2019 variation of 2012 logo]] fed4d75e0e0b23b43d00ac2b3765f8ecca16ad01 0 19 613 577 2020-08-18T22:10:04Z Harris 5 /* Website */ wikitext text/x-wiki From April 2019 to March 2020, STAR did... Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. [[starTV|starTV]] was created in an attempt to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from [[Studio Equipment#Computers| Tay-Tay]], and the website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year. The show schedule was expanded to every possible hour, i.e. the same as the Union's open hours. This resulted in 116 possible show slots (9am-2am every day, minus midnight-2am Sunday and 1-2am Monday). At peak (late in semester 1), there were 111 active shows, with most of the empty slots at 9am and 1am. Applications for new shows were allowed throughout the semester, in contrast to previous years. Show photos were organised for the first time since [[2014/15]] (citation needed). A focus was put on live music, with numerous bands travelling from across Scotland to play at [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]], in addition to the usual student music in Rector's Cafe, Bell Pettigrew Museum, etc. The station's slogan changed from "Tune in to St Andrews" to "Listen responsibly", which was also used in [[2013/14]]. A list of [[Future ideas|future ideas]] was started, and general STAR updates were posted on [https://www.facebook.com/tomgroves4star STAR Broadcasting Officer 2019/20]. The last month of the committee was disrupted by the coronavirus lockdown, during which the Students' Association building closed, and the University told students to go home. == Committee == {| class="wikitable" |- !

Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts. == Sounds of Sandy's == The [[Links to Musicians#Gigs|Sounds of Sandy's]] series began in September 2019. The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free. == T-shirt competition == Submissions were open over the winter break. Almost every design received was posted on [https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10162663033480315 Facebook]. One like counted as one vote.

Three of the six assistant positions were taken up by first years, who otherwise wouldn't have been able to apply until March/April 2020. Being first years, they had noticeably more time to dedicate to STAR. * Having assistants for people who want them, instead of sticking to the constitution. * Using [http://bit.ly bit.ly] for things like /TrainingSignup, /ShowSchedule, /ShowApplications, etc. This saved an enormous amount of time for everyone, not just the committee. * Telling shows to include an image from [http://bit.ly/starlogos bit.ly/starlogos] in the corner of their page cover photo. * Having individual meetings and a questionnaire for committee members around week 9 of semester 1, instead of the usual committee meeting. * Removing the three slots reserved on Thursday evenings for live broadcasts; focusing on publishing recordings of live events on Mixcloud was much more effective. * Making slots available whenever the Union is open, i.e. 9am-2am. * Allowing new show applications throughout the semester, though this could have been streamlined by faster demos and a clear cutoff a few weeks before exams. * Sticking to one show Facebook group for the whole year. * Having a group chat for show hosts, committee members, and anyone interested in STAR to join. * Using the interactive schedule within our Wordpress theme, instead of using a screenshot of a spreadsheet. Please please please continue this. * Using Mixcloud to host podcasts, though you can no longer jump backwards on a mix without a paid account. Mixcloud could have been embedded into our website in a better way (see [https://ury.org.uk ury.org.uk]). * Having a [http://bit.ly/starfesto list of aims] for the year. * Adding a pop-up form to join the mailing list on the website homepage greatly improved mailing list reach. * Kieran's podcast email bot worked well in general, though would benefit from an unsubscribe button. === Changes that didn't work === * The mixer when it broke a week before the start of semester 1. * Regular rotation. Not sure anyone really understood it. Might be worth implementing over a few daytime slots in the future for the sake of trying to get played in local businesses, but try not to make a big deal out of it. * A show host suggested that the show application form might be better without distinguishing between a main host and co-hosts. * Booking two hours for committee meetings: people didn't even want to stay one hour. * Struggled to form an Outside Broadcast (OB) team or cover many events, in part due to a lack of awareness amongst the general student population, leading to a lack of interest. * We may have ordered way too many phone wallets. * Selling USB sticks for £2 instead of giving them away likely would have worked a lot better if they were ready for sale before the main tech training weekend. * Keeping applications for semester 2 shows open from late November worked well, but lots of people forgot if they applied. Email confirmation may help this. (See [https://www.labnol.org/internet/auto-confirmation-emails/28386 here].) * Adverts: committee agreed we weren't ready to run paid adverts for local businesses. Decided that STAR should wait until listener stats are reliably available, and the Head of Production is comfortable copyrighting (or a well-planned system for businesses sending adverts, instead of STAR producing them). * There were a lot of issues/complaints about clearing Myriad audiowall over winter break. If this needs to happen again next year, plenty of warning should be given. a0cfc2cbb20fc2315cd2abfbb707c020efbe60da 615 613 2020-08-18T22:56:42Z Harris 5 Added Section on STAR Awards wikitext text/x-wiki From April 2019 to March 2020, STAR did...

Decided that STAR should wait until listener stats are reliably available, and the Head of Production is comfortable copyrighting (or a well-planned system for businesses sending adverts, instead of STAR producing them). * There were a lot of issues/complaints about clearing Myriad audiowall over winter break. If this needs to happen again next year, plenty of warning should be given. 1bc948a44bf352de15f9a64249dd63c2a9ec4528 0 101 614 571 2020-08-18T22:25:04Z Harris 5 wikitext text/x-wiki From April 2020 to March 2021, STAR did...

The Head of Web should give you a restricted account, so you shouldn't have to worry about breaking the whole website. * When posting an article on Wordpress, be sure to include the date and author's name at the top of the post. * Split these tasks between yourself and your assistant. === Links and tips === * [https://www.facebook.com/TheRecordStA The Record] on Facebook * [https://www.facebook.com/groups/252359109303348 The Record Writers Group] on Facebook – consider making a new group if the current one is full of ancient graduates * [http://standrewsradio.com/wp-admin Wordpress login] * [https://drive.google.com drive.google.com] * [https://www.facebook.com/events Facebook events] – use this to browse for events to cover === Contacts === * Previous Head of The Record/Assistant Head of The Record 5a1111e2d08e90d2f1abfd8aa067e4a9ed280400 0 104 638 2020-09-28T10:00:43Z Andrew 4 Initial version wikitext text/x-wiki Jingles are a 5-20 second musical introduction to your show and a great (and easy) way to solidify your show branding and set yourself apart from the crowd. == Creating a Jingle == # Find an instrumental. This could be the karaoke track of your favourite song, or just search ‘free (lofi, trap, pop, sad, sexy, literally anything) beats’ on YouTube and copy and paste the link into a YouTube to MP3 converter and download it. Alternatively, if you can’t quite find the one, send an email to [mailto:production@standrewsradio.com production@standrewsradio.com] with details of what you want and they may be able to help you make something from scratch - see [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjXHyPUozLM The Record's jingle]. # Choose the bit you like best. 10-20 seconds is ideal but go with what feels right. Dependent on whether you want to do a voiceover (see the next step), you may want a section with more or less happening instrumentally. # Do you want to do a voiceover? You might want the jingle to introduce the show for you (e.g. you’re listening to/welcome back to/ introducing/insert anything you want to say - see the example of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=3PPr9gCARvc OKUK's jingle]). If you decide you want to record vocals, proceed to step 4. If you just want the instrumental, skip to step 5. # Record your voiceover. To make sure it all sounds ‘together’, pull the instrumental up on your computer and play it in-ear via headphones. Open Voice Memos on your phone, hit record and say your piece over the beat. Record it as many times as you need until you’re happy. If there's more than one show host who wants to feature, you can record together or separately, it doesn't matter! And don't worry, nobody likes the sound of their own voice (but if you're really desperate John can say it for you with the same beautiful voice as the OKUK jingle). # Email the files to our Head of Production. Email [mailto:production@standrewsradio.com production@standrewsradio.com] with the instrumental and, if you have one, the voiceover file (which you can usually attach directly to an email from the Voice Memos app). You can also mention any guidance on how you’d like it to sound (when should the voiceover kick in? Do you want it to fade in or out? Reverb? Delay? Or if this makes no sense don’t worry and he'll do what sounds best). We can then put them both together, and get them ready for you to play on air! 26ccb6c09b457724e83fd8c78a9c04d451057fa8 0 1 639 596 2020-09-28T10:02:45Z Andrew 4 /* Tech */ Add Jingle creation link wikitext text/x-wiki <strong>Welcome to the Starchive Wiki.</strong> This wiki includes a history of the station, details of the studio technology, and helpful guides for committee members.

This got worse with time, but was helped by opening the mixer and scraping fluff out of each fader. Eventually this cleaning process stopped improving the jitter. A new fader was ordered for £28.78 from Broadcast Radio in April 2019 to confirm that the faders were the problem. A further eight faders were then installed in August 2019 at a cost of £191.90. One of the eight new faders was bent in transit; a replacement was sent free of charge, and installed in September 2019. Immediately after the set of eight new faders were installed, the mixer went completely dead. Upon inspection, part of the power supply appeared to have overheated. The PSU's earth wire was also found to be loose, though this was likely caused by the inspection. A new SRM PSU was ordered from Broadcast Radio for £167.94, and installed in September 2019. The mixer then worked perfectly. = Microphones = {| class="wikitable" |- ! Model ! Use ! In use since !

You will be a second voice in all decisions, and a second pair of hands for all tasks. This could mean helping to chair meetings, organising events, or researching new ideas. This is a great role if you want to see, and influence, how every part of STAR works. The Deputy Station Manager has usually been on committee for a year, and should therefore have a good understanding of how STAR is run, and which areas need the most help. This role assists everyone on committee, but also initiates new ideas. === Tasks === Tasks are likely to change each year, but will be roughly as follows: * Assist the Station Manager wherever possible, and represent STAR whenever the Station Manager is unable to. * Act as a main point of contact between Hearing Aid and STAR. * Ensure that all members of the committee are given a fair and reasonable workload, that does not hinder their university studies. * Actively attempt to secure nominations for various student radio awards. * Host the “Office Hour” show at 5pm on Mondays. * Help as much as possible with Freshers’ Fayre, Refreshers’ Fayre, show demos, and first show sit-ins. === Links === * [https://drive.google.com drive.google.com] === Contacts === * Previous Deputy Station Managers, e.g. [mailto:blandine.hoge@standrewsradio.com Blandine Hoge]. 20471799ce582c1d7dff0466c00f3f5a2fb6f2db 0 22 656 552 2021-04-13T09:06:37Z Andrew 4 Add 2021 role holder and email address wikitext text/x-wiki The Secretary, also known as the Director of Internal Communications, is responsible for taking minutes at committee meetings, and sending the weekly email to subscribers.

It's also good to send the minutes to [mailto:committee@standrewsradio.com committee@]. * Be creative with the weekly email. Check if the Station Manager and other committee members have anything to include on the email, e.g. events, tech updates. ** Use Mailchimp to check the layout of previous emails. Last year, the layout consisted of: welcome message, events, anything else important, merch sales, office hours, and song of the week, but you can include any extra segment you like. ** Make sure that Mailchimp sends the newsletter from newsletter@standrewsradio.com. Outlook acts strangely around some email security policies which STAR has, and so there's a special exemption in the University's spam filter to let our newsletter come through. Replies to that email address will still come through to your STAR email. === Links === * [https://mailchimp.com mailchimp.com] ** Take some time to work through the settings, and get familiar with the user interface.

Adapted from 2019 handover document, written by Blandine Hoge.'' === Intro === As Head of Programming, you’re in charge of choosing who gets to host a show each semester, and making sure that STAR shows are the best they can be. You will have to create application forms, arrange and run demos, build the schedule, organise first show sit-ins, organise show skimming/feedback, and track show attendance, all whilst being available to help out show hosts when they need you. It’s a difficult and time-consuming role, especially around the start of each semester, but it can be incredibly rewarding. === Tasks === ==== September ==== * Show application form ** Include the following: **# Name of show **# Emails of all hosts **# Show description for the website **# Whether they are a new or returning show **# At least five time slots they are available **# The attendance policy and station rules ** Check previous forms as examples ** Double-check that "required answer" is active for every question ** Double-check that the form can be shared outside of standrewsradio.com, and test this with someone before sharing the form publicly * Demos ** Demos are the second part of show applications. They're basically an informal interview to hear people describe their idea. ** All shows, including returning shows, should go through demos in semester 1. Make sure the application form mentions this. ** Have a document ready to make notes, and share this with your assistant, and anyone else helping to run demos. ** Demos are a chance for people to explain their idea to you, especially if their application was unclear – sometimes people can explain a concept much better in person than in writing. ** Ask people to prepare the following for their demo: **# A verbal description of their show **# An overview of what their first show would sound like **# A preferred time slot – this may have changed since they completed the application form ** What to look for in a demo: **# Are they keen? **# Do they really want to be on air? **# Do they believe in their idea? **# Are they organised – did they arrive on time, with a clear idea, and everything you told them to prepare? * Scheduling ** Set aside an evening to meet with your assistant and the Station Manager ** Work through applications filling every available slot on the schedule ** Remember to leave a space for the Office Hours show before committee meetings, and other committee shows if applicable (e.g. The Record's show), although they should have sent an application anyway! ** Leave a block empty for live lounges if the Station Manager requests this. They may also want a space left for one-off shows, e.g. society collabs. ** Try to avoid getting a headache * Acceptance emails ** Send acceptances first, rejections last, incase a successful show has changed their mind, or can no longer do their allocated time ** Either you or the Station Manager should create a closed Facebook group for all show hosts to join ** Make sure every current host joins this group: include the link in acceptance emails, post it in last year's show group, and ask the Head Technician to remind everyone during training ** Include a PDF version of the show guide in acceptance emails ** Make it clear (in both acceptance and rejection emails) that every show will have to reapply in January ** Keep a list of current show hosts' emails, so you can copy and paste this whenever needed ** When sending mass emails, put the recipients in the "bcc" line, and your own email (or hello@) in the "to" line, and remember to cc the Station Manager * Training ** Once you have sent out acceptance emails to shows, the Head Technician will organise show training. This usually takes them a whole weekend. Whether you want to join them, and give programming advice to the shows here, is up to you. This advice should include: **# Arrive at least five minutes before your show is due to start **# Complete the sign-in book **# For your first show, script your introduction, and bring more music than you think you will need: one hour for music shows, half an hour for talk shows **# Plan the structure of each show using bullet points, but don't completely script beyond the intro * Sit-ins ** Create a copy of the schedule, with all new shows highlighted, and share this with committee@ ** All committee members who have had their own shows before must sign up to help ** Every new show must have a committee member with them for their first show ** Guidelines for sit-ins: **# Arrive early to help upload music to Myriad **# Help with tech, e.g. turning microphones on/off **# Give feedback afterwards, e.g. "work on improvising talk sections", "prepare more music" * As of [[2019/20]], new shows can apply throughout the semester. It should be a similar process, just for individual shows, as soon as their application comes in. Towards the end of the semester, let any new applicants know that their application will be reviewed at the start of semester 2, since there's not much point starting a new show in revision week. ==== January ==== * Application form ** Much the same as in semester 1, but ask if returning shows want to keep the same time slot as they had last semester if possible. * Demos ** Same as in semester 1, except returning shows are not usually required to have another demo. ** Use podcasts of returning shows to check they are of a good standard. ** Be biased towards returning shows that are actively engaged in STAR e.g. by submitting a bio for the website, having good publicity, attending events, etc. * Sit-ins ** Same as in semester 1, i.e. only new shows require sit-ins. ==== Throughout the year ==== * Attendance ** Create a private copy of the schedule each week, and colour-code each show as i) present, ii) absent with notification, iii) absent without notification, iv) absent for two weeks in a row without notification, v) absent for three weeks in a row ** To check attendance, use a combination of: **# Signatures in the sign-in book **# [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html Podcasts] **# Myriad login record – ask the Head Technician to show you how to access this, and to set your Myriad account up so it can access this ** It may help if you ask other committee members to send a picture of the sign-in book to [programming@standrewsradio.com programming@] whenever they go in for their show ** If you suspect a show was absent, always email the hosts; many people forget to complete the sign-in book or login to Myriad, and it's easy to mistake a music show's podcast for AutoFade ** If a show misses two weeks in a row, reach out to them. ** If a show misses three weeks in a row, with no contact, remove their show from the schedule. Update the schedule whenever this happens, and notify the Station Manager, Head Technician, and Head of Web, so they can remove the show from the website schedule, etc. * Skimming ** You can decide whether to check every show, or only check shows that request feedback. Hopefully you listen to a lot of shows anyway, so will know which ones need improvement. ** Ask other committee members to help, and use the [https://archive.standrewsradio.com/podcasts.html podcasts archive]. ** The aim of skimming is up to you and the Station Manager. You can decide to email feedback to all shows that need to improve, regardless of whether they request it. === Key dates === * Summer: ** Make the show application form ** Help the Head of Marketing promote the application forms for both shows, and assistant committee positions * Semester 1: ** Close applications around a week after Freshers' Fayre ** Prepare the schedule and send acceptance emails in the following week ** Aim to be on air by week 3, allowing a weekend for the Tech Team to train everyone beforehand * Christmas break: ** Help the Head of Marketing promote show applications * Semester 2: ** Close applications around the end of Refreshers' Week ** Aim to be on air by week 2 – there shouldn't be as many new shows, so the Tech Team hopefully won't need a whole weekend to train everyone === Links and tips === * [https://docs.google.com/forms Google Forms] – learn how to change sharing access to public, and how to use "jump to section" based on previous answers * [http://bit.ly bit.ly] – use this to create a short url for your master copy of the schedule. (The Head of Marketing may be able to redirect bit.ly/starschedule to the newest version.) ** Include show names, host names, and emails on this version of the schedule ** Send this schedule to the Head of Web and Head Technician, so they can update the website schedule and Myriad database === Contacts === * Previous Head of Programming, e.g. [mailto:blandine.hoge@standrewsradio.com Blandine Hoge]; [mailto:annarose.harris@standrewsradio.com Anna Harris] d4033f208139fa92de97022d3d049acfe41015f7 0 26 662 565 2021-04-13T09:13:20Z Andrew 4 Add 2021 role holder and email address wikitext text/x-wiki The Head of Design is responsible for creating graphics and promotional material for STAR, including the Facebook page photo, cover photo, Instagram promotions, paid adverts, event posters, and station merchandise.

You need to make sure every STAR event runs smoothly, by checking which dates and times avoid clashes with other large events, booking suitable venues, making sure events are promoted effectively, arranging any items needed for an event, and dealing with any unpredictable problems. === Tasks === * Before summer, work with the Station Manager and Treasurer to plan a budget for the next year. Try to plan the year's events now (as much as possible), so you know how much money you'll need. The budget is never set in stone, so don't worry about slight changes later in the year. The Treasurer has to submit the proposed budget to the Union around the end of May. * Check STAR's [https://www.facebook.com/pg/standrewsradio/events past events] for ideas * Over summer and winter break, plan events for the following semester. It helps to create a planning calendar on Google Sheets, that you can share with other committee members. Aim to have dates and venues confirmed before the start of semester, wherever possible. * Have one or two show socials each semester. Check when the Head of Programming is planning to have shows on air (or at least confirmed) before picking a date for a show social. * Introduce yourself to the DoES, DoSDA, and Ents Convenor, as you'll be needing their help a lot throughout the year. * Book spaces as soon as possible. As a subcommittee, we get a week to book Union spaces before societies towards the end of summer – don't miss this deadline, and always aim to book Union spaces at least three weeks in advance. If you asked for help from Ents, attend their "users meeting" at least two weeks before the event. * Create a risk assessment for any one-off events, e.g. a bonfire, and send this to [mailto:unionra@st-andrews.ac.uk unionra@], at least two weeks before the event. * Make sure STAR hosts live music events at least once a fortnight, with a mix of student and external musicians. The Head of Music will help to organise these, and book the musicians. * Organise at least one committee social each semester. * Organise workshops, e.g. jingle workshop (with the Head of Production), logo/social media workshop (with the Head of Design/Marketing), or invite a "real" radio figure to host a presenter workshop. * Split tasks between yourself and your assistant === Links and tips === * [https://www.yourunion.net/ents/howtobookanevent Union room booking form] – note that events in Main Bar cannot be ticketed * [https://www.yourunion.net/activities/societies/runningyoursociety/resources/riskassessments Example risk assessment] * [https://drive.google.com/drive drive.google.com] === Contacts === * [mailto:ents@st-andrews.ac.uk Ents Crew Convenor] – make sure you're familiar with Ents Crew's policy on tech help, e.g. attending a users meeting well before your event, and always remember they are overworked student volunteers. * Director of Events and Services (DoES): [mailto:does@st-andrews.ac.uk does@st-andrews.ac.uk] – STAR's line manager, who can offer advice on most things if the Station Manager can't.

This means keeping the studio fully working, thinking of new equipment we can buy to improve shows, training every show host, and then responding to their messages asking for help throughout the semester. You may also be asked to operate live sound equipment at STAR events, broadcast live events, and train people to use our external recording equipment. This role can be very rewarding, and can open a lot of doors, if you engage with it properly. === Tasks === * When you first join the committee in April, meet up with the outgoing Head Technician in the studio, and go through all equipment together. Spend as much time as possible familiarising yourself with everything in the studio, control room, and our cupboard in the TV Edit Suite (The Saint's office). * Work with the Station Manager and Treasurer to prepare a budget for the next year. Think about what equipment we could buy, replace, or upgrade. The Treasurer has to submit a proposed budget to the Union around the end of May. * Download broadcasting software that can handle two streamers at once (MP3 and Ogg Vorbis). This will let you take over the live broadcast from your laptop. I recommend Ladiocast for Mac. * Download Audacity or another DAW if you haven’t already. * Show training: *# After show applications close in September, ask the Head of Programming to share their confirmed schedule, with show names, host names, and email addresses. *# Set aside a weekend to train all the new shows, and create a spreadsheet with available timeslots *# Share this spreadsheet with all shows. Post it in the shows group, and ask the Head of Programming or Secretary to send an email to all shows with a link to the spreadsheet. All new shows must be tech trained before going on air. *# If your assistant is ready to train people, or someone else on committee is capable, try to have 30 minute slots starting every 15 minutes, with one of you in the control room and one in the main studio. *# Work through a list of training points (example below). *# If the Head of Programming has asked you to go through some programming tips, do this at the end of each tech training session. * Repeat a smaller version of the training process in January (there should be fewer new shows). * Train any new shows that appear throughout the semester. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for each show, and make a list of the login details and cart range each account can edit. Make sure these accounts are in the "shows" permissions group. Pin the list in the shows hosts' Facebook group. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for committee members who need specific access, e.g. the Head of Programming needs to see the login report; the Head of Music needs to be able to edit a large cart range, and access the AutoFade presets/schedule; the Head of Production needs to be able to upload adverts and jingles, and schedule them. * Stay active in the show hosts' Facebook group; they will be relying on you to fix their tech problems all day, every day. * Keep the studio and equipment clean and tidy. * Make sure AutoFade is active whenever no show is on air. * Broadcast or record live events, especially live lounges. * Manage STAR's external recording equipment, including repairs, new equipment, loans to students, and training these students. * Manage STAR's licenses, including submitting quarterly PPL reports. * Work closely with the Head of Web and their assistant.

In most years, they are also expected to keep the studio clean and tidy, and to help with tech at STAR gigs and external broadcasts. They are also responsible for managing the station's PPL license, and creating Myriad logins for shows. The position used to be called the Director of Audio Engineering, with a focus on the studio equipment, and the rest of the committee helping to keep the studio tidy. Nowadays, it is more common for the Head Technician to be responsible for the studio computers, network, and web stream, as well as much of the website maintenance and content. They therefore work closely with the Head of Web. For more information on studio equipment, see [[Studio Equipment]]. They are contactable via [mailto:technician@standrewsradio.com technician@standrewsradio.com], or as part of the whole tech team at [mailto:tech@standrewsradio.com tech@standrewsradio.com]. == Previous Head Technicians == {| class="wikitable" |- !

The responsibilities of the assistant are normally up to the Head Technician. Assistants are usually appointed in March, at the same time as the rest of the committee. However, in 2019/20 the assistants were appointed in September, to allow new students to apply. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Year ! Name !

In 2010, there was a team of people dedicated to outside broadcasts, which allowed STAR to cover far more events. [https://www.facebook.com/notes/star-st-andrews-student-radio/a-list-of-important-things-you-all-should-read-concerning-the-restart/343850429477 [Source]] == Handover == === Intro === As the Head Technician, you are in charge of all station equipment. This means keeping the studio fully working, thinking of new equipment we can buy to improve shows, training every show host, and then responding to their messages asking for help throughout the semester. You may also be asked to operate live sound equipment at STAR events, broadcast live events, and train people to use our external recording equipment. This role can be very rewarding, and can open a lot of doors, if you engage with it properly. === Tasks === * When you first join the committee in April, meet up with the outgoing Head Technician in the studio, and go through all equipment together. Spend as much time as possible familiarising yourself with everything in the studio, control room, and our cupboard in the TV Edit Suite (The Saint's office). * Work with the Station Manager and Treasurer to prepare a budget for the next year. Think about what equipment we could buy, replace, or upgrade. The Treasurer has to submit a proposed budget to the Union around the end of May. * Download broadcasting software that can handle two streamers at once (MP3 and Ogg Vorbis). This will let you take over the live broadcast from your laptop. I recommend Ladiocast for Mac. * Download Audacity or another DAW if you haven’t already. * Show training: *# After show applications close in September, ask the Head of Programming to share their confirmed schedule, with show names, host names, and email addresses. *# Set aside a weekend to train all the new shows, and create a spreadsheet with available timeslots *# Share this spreadsheet with all shows. Post it in the shows group, and ask the Head of Programming or Secretary to send an email to all shows with a link to the spreadsheet. All new shows must be tech trained before going on air. *# If your assistant is ready to train people, or someone else on committee is capable, try to have 30 minute slots starting every 15 minutes, with one of you in the control room and one in the main studio. *# Work through a list of training points (example below). *# If the Head of Programming has asked you to go through some programming tips, do this at the end of each tech training session. * Repeat a smaller version of the training process in January (there should be fewer new shows). * Train any new shows that appear throughout the semester. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for each show, and make a list of the login details and cart range each account can edit. Make sure these accounts are in the "shows" permissions group. Pin the list in the shows hosts' Facebook group. * Create Myriad Playout accounts for committee members who need specific access, e.g. the Head of Programming needs to see the login report; the Head of Music needs to be able to edit a large cart range, and access the AutoFade presets/schedule; the Head of Production needs to be able to upload adverts and jingles, and schedule them. * Stay active in the show hosts' Facebook group; they will be relying on you to fix their tech problems all day, every day. * Keep the studio and equipment clean and tidy. * Make sure AutoFade is active whenever no show is on air. * Broadcast or record live events, especially live lounges. * Manage STAR's external recording equipment, including repairs, new equipment, loans to students, and training these students. * Manage STAR's licenses, including submitting quarterly PPL reports. * Work closely with the Head of Web and their assistant. Make a group chat with all of you, and the Station Manager. Your roles overlap a lot, and you should help each other with tasks wherever possible.

They are a great way to make your show stand out and create a unique brand and style! Here's a quick and easy guide to the 4 steps to creating a great jingle: # '''Find an instrumental you like!''' This can be anything, maybe a piece of instrumental music that evokes the mood of your show or the karaoke version of your favourite tune. You could also search YouTube for "free (lofi/trap/pretty much anything) beats" that can be downloaded with YouTube mp3 converters. Alternatively, if you can't find quite find the right track, message our Head of Production [mailto:production@standrewsradio.com production@standrewsradio.com] with details of what you are looking for and he can try to make something from scratch! # '''Choose your favourite section.''' Find your favourite section of the instrumental, there's no specific limits but 10-20 seconds is usually a good length. If you are doing voiceover you might want to think about finding a section that will make it easier to hear your voice on top of. # '''Record a voiceover (optional).''' While listening to the instrumental on headphones, record a voiceover of you introducing your show. If you have co-hosts on your show who also want to feature on the jingle they are welcome to record voiceovers with you or separately. Maybe you have a particular catchphrase or show tagline? What you say is totally up to you but remember this is your chance to build a unique brand for your show! You can use free software such as Audacity to record this or just record with your voice notes on your phone. Don't be afraid to re-record as many times as needed until you find the perfect take. Alternatively if you want your jingle to just be instrumental with no voiceover, then feel free to skip this step. # '''Email the files to our Head of Production.''' Email the audio files of the instrumental (preferably just the section you want to use but if not timestamps of the section will work too) as well as your final voiceover (if you have one) to [mailto:production@standrewsradio.com production@standrewsradio.com]. Feel free to send guidance on how you would like it all to piece together. Once your jingle's ready, it'll be put into the playout system and you will be able to play them at the start of your show!
